Storm in Moscow: help the families of Marketplace Lane rebuild

The storm hit the families of Marketplace Lane on 31 December. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 3 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 $1,500 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $500 • Clean water and purification supplies: $240 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210 • Tools and labor for repairs: $550 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Maria
