After the earthquake, families in the Marketplace district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

Quezon City
The earthquake hit the Marketplace district on 4 April. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 13 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 $1,350 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140 • Roofing sheets and timber: $710 • Clean water and purification supplies: $185 • Food parcels for displaced families: $315 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
