The hurricane hit the Sunrise district on 25 November. My home was one of 64 damaged, and 9 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 $5,850 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $690
• Tools and labor for repairs: $670
• Clean water and purification supplies: $570
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,920
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Cairo.
Sending strength, Bennett. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong, Bennett. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Fresno this morning.
