The storm hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 13 June. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
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 $5,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,400
• Clean water and purification supplies: $710
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $310
• Food parcels for displaced families: $900
• Tools and labor for repairs: $980
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Min-jun
Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($341). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Min-jun?
Thank you. If you're in Seoul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Sending good thoughts, Min-jun. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Fresno this morning.
Looking forward to the next update. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Best of luck, Min-jun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Rome.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. Take care!
