The hurricane hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 6 September. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $6,250 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,150
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,350
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Jacksonville
Sending good thoughts, Anthony. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor in Austin donated after I showed her your page. All the best
You're not alone, Anthony. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Nashik
What's already covered and what's the $6,250 for?
It's all in the list in the story. tools and labor for repairs is the big one at $1,750, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
Take care. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Sending love, Anthony. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Sacramento.
