The typhoon hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 19 January. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 9 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 $3,850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,300
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,100
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $640
• Clean water and purification supplies: $810
I hope life is good to you.

Quick update: $867 raised so far (23%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Hope things get better soon, Mai. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

thinking of you and your family, Mai. Great idea, hope you get there. I hope April is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Mai. Your post was clear and honest.
