The earthquake hit the families of Old Town Lane on 2 August. My home was one of 13 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $5,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,000
• Clean water and purification supplies: $270
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $360
• Food parcels for displaced families: $980
• Tools and labor for repairs: $640

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours
Thinking of you and your family, Pietro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Naples
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Pietro.
Sure. The biggest one is roofing sheets and timber, $3,000. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you peace, Pietro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
hope you get there. Greetings from Limerick
Keep going, Pietro. Great idea, hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kano.
