The storm hit Old Town village on 21 September. My home was one of 29 damaged, and 4 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $4,550 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $540 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,000 • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,010 I hope life is good to you. - Helene

    • you're not alone, Helene. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

        Take care, Helene. More neighborhoods should do this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.

        • Praying for you, Helene. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

          • Stay strong. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 28 people at work.
