The earthquake hit the Riverside settlement on 23 February. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 7 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 $1,400 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $280 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $150 • Tools and labor for repairs: $710 • Clean water and purification supplies: $260 Glad we found this place. - Armando
