The typhoon hit the families of Orchard Lane on 14 September. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $6,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $350
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $830
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Sosuke. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kawasaki.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Kawasaki.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sosuke
good luck. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Rooting for you, Sosuke. I hope things turn around soon.
