The earthquake hit Greenfield village on 31 January. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 12 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $480
• Tools and labor for repairs: $310
• Clean water and purification supplies: $310
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Buenos Aires donated after I showed her your page. Take care!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aarón!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. food parcels for displaced families comes first ($480) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Shared this with my family. Love from Lahore.
Great idea, hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Springfield this morning
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Yucatán. I'll ask around and let you know
is there anything that isn't money that would help Aarón?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about food parcels for displaced families, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
