The earthquake hit the Eastgate district on 24 August. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 13 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 $3,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $330
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,070
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Caxias do Sul.
good luck, Georgios. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
Best of luck, Georgios. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Patras.
Wishing you peace, Georgios. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 29 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Heliopolis.
Keep going. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
