The hurricane hit the Marketplace neighborhood on 17 August. My home was one of 19 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,250
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Keep going, Alice. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Alice?
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Grand Rapids.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Mesa.
what's already covered and what's the $5,200 for?
Sending good thoughts, Alice. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
So sorry you're going through this, Alice. Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
sending good thoughts, Alice. More neighborhoods should do this. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Mesa.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Keep going, Alice. This could happen to any of us
