Storm in Buenos Aires: help the Hillcrest neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Hillcrest neighborhood are rebuilding after the storm; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Argentina698 views
The storm hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 18 August. My home was one of 54 damaged, and 13 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 $1,800 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $800
• Clean water and purification supplies: $190
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145
• Food parcels for displaced families: $170
• Tools and labor for repairs: $495
Thank you so much.
