The hurricane hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 13 May. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. 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 $5,850 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $680 • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,900 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,270 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Carlos

    Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Los Angeles but we're thinking of you. God bless.
