Rebuilding after the hurricane: the families of Riverside Lane needs your help

The hurricane hit the families of Riverside Lane on 27 June. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 2 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 $1,600 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180 • Tools and labor for repairs: $500 • Food parcels for displaced families: $390 • Roofing sheets and timber: $530 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Camila
