The typhoon hit the families of Orchard Lane on 1 May. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 7 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 $2,550 goes:
ā¢ Food parcels for displaced families: $1,150
ā¢ Clean water and purification supplies: $490
ā¢ Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $910
With deep gratitude,
Minato

sending love, Minato. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Seoul donated after I showed her your page. All the best!
Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in
wishing you peace, Minato. This could happen to any of us. God bless
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Minato?
Thank you. If you're in Shinjuku I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Don't give up
Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Bellevue so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Shinjuku.
