The typhoon hit the Millbrook neighborhood on 1 February. My home was one of 29 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $165
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $170
• Roofing sheets and timber: $400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $315
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Liên?
Thank you. If you're in Thủ Đức I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Good luck, Liên. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Cox's Bazar donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Liên. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together.
