The earthquake hit Riverside village on 26 January. My home was one of 12 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $2,450 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $530
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,500
• Tools and labor for repairs: $210
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
Thank you for reading my story.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($185 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Dublin so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Good luck, Enrique. Shared it with a few friends.
