The hurricane hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 25 May. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 14 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $2,700 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $540 • Clean water and purification supplies: $390 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,600 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $170 I hope life is good to you. - Carolina

Updates from Carolina

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($198 in total) the plan for bedding, blankets and mattresses is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 2% funded and the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($28). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Guadalajara.

    • Reagan P. Hoffman

      wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Alcalá de Henares so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Guadalajara
