The winter storm hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 28 February. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 4 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 $5,700 goes: โ€ข Food parcels for displaced families: $930 โ€ข Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $800 โ€ข Clean water and purification supplies: $450 โ€ข Roofing sheets and timber: $3,520 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Dong-hyun
