The typhoon hit Orchard village on 23 January. My home was one of 83 damaged, and 8 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 $4,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $410
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $490
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $550
I hope life is good to you.

Small update. $566 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($381 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rooting for you, Harumi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Tokyo
You're not alone, Harumi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mardan so I could bring a meal!
