Typhoon in Hồ Chí Minh City: help the Old Town neighborhood rebuild

The typhoon hit the Old Town neighborhood on 12 June. My home was one of 72 damaged, and 12 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 $600 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $115 • Tools and labor for repairs: $200 • Roofing sheets and timber: $285 With deep gratitude, Nhung
