The winter storm hit the Orchard neighborhood on 15 August. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $4,000 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $930 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,700 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,370 If you're reading this, thank you. - Esteban

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Esteban.

    • The list at the bottom is the whole picture. food parcels for displaced families is the biggest at $930. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Our local city council office has an emergency fund, might be worth asking them!

    • Wishing you peace, Esteban. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Tucson
