Rebuilding after the typhoon: the Sunrise district needs your help
The typhoon damaged 16 homes in the Sunrise district. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The typhoon hit the Sunrise district on 14 June. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 13 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $950 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $370
• Clean water and purification supplies: $85
• Food parcels for displaced families: $280
• Tools and labor for repairs: $215
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you, Phong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
How is Phong doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Love from Cape Town.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Phong.
Roofing sheets and timber is $370 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Keep going, Phong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Sending strength, Phong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Praying for you, Phong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Hanoi
hope things get better soon. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless
