The typhoon hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 1 June. My home was one of 35 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $650 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180
• Food parcels for displaced families: $340
• Clean water and purification supplies: $130
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Charmaine
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. bedding, blankets and mattresses comes first ($180) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Campinas.
Sending love, Charmaine. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Noida.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
