Typhoon in Sakai: help the Millbrook district rebuild
Neighbors in the Millbrook district are rebuilding after the typhoon; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The typhoon hit the Millbrook district on 27 August. My home was one of 18 damaged, and 13 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 $3,800 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,400
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $960
• Clean water and purification supplies: $670
• Food parcels for displaced families: $770
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Jiro. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Take care.
keep going, Jiro. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
how is Jiro doing now?
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Sent it to 27 people at work. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Jiro. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jiro?
Thank you. If you're in Sakai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Thanks for sharing this. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't give up. Thinking of Sakai
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jiro.
Sure. The biggest one is tools and labor for repairs, $1,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bilbao.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
Sending strength, Jiro. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Wishing you the best, Jiro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Wishing you the best. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together.
Take care, Jiro. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
