The hurricane hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 7 March. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 8 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 $1,250 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $280 • Tools and labor for repairs: $540 • Food parcels for displaced families: $430 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from María

  1. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($211). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($161 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - María
