The landslide hit the Millbrook settlement on 25 November. My home was one of 88 damaged, and 4 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 $2,250 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $210 • Tools and labor for repairs: $640 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,050 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $350 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Viviane?

    • Carlos S. Núñez

      Thinking of you. Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!

      • Enrique R. Vega

        hope things get better soon, Viviane. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • Brooklyn B. McDaniel

          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
