The hurricane hit the Lakeview settlement on 3 January. My home was one of 49 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $8,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,050
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,700
With deep gratitude,
Nova

Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,124 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Diego
Thinking of you and your family, Nova. 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. Greetings from Tlaquepaque.
