The typhoon hit the Marketplace neighborhood on 25 March. My home was one of 64 damaged, and 11 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $650 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $120
• Food parcels for displaced families: $125
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175

Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Jerusalem but we're thinking of you. Love from Jerusalem.
Thinking of you and your family, Linh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Linh.
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Thane
Hope things get better soon, Linh. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
