Storm in Paris: help the Harbor district rebuild
The storm damaged 37 homes in the Harbor district. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.

The storm hit the Harbor district on 14 March. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 13 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 $4,050 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $820
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $760
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,270
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amélie
Tools and labor for repairs is $1,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Take care, Amélie. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Wishing you peace, Amélie. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Paris
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope April is when things finally get easier
Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
