Typhoon in Setagaya: help the Sunrise neighborhood rebuild
After the typhoon, families in the Sunrise neighborhood need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The typhoon hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 16 July. My home was one of 46 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $4,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $640
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $840
• Tools and labor for repairs: $570
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending love, Koji. Shared this with my family.
Sending strength, Koji. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Good luck, Koji. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
