The storm hit the Riverside settlement on 30 August. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 9 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $930
• Tools and labor for repairs: $890
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,730
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Denpasar.
how is Shirley doing now?
Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Juiz de Fora.
Hang in there, Shirley. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Shirley. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Busan this morning. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Shirley. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Peoria
