The earthquake hit the Greenfield district on 14 April. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $2,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $480
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $330
• Food parcels for displaced families: $520
• Tools and labor for repairs: $630
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Paula. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nashik.
Stay strong, Paula. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bonny.
Wishing you peace, Paula. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Monterrey.
Best of luck. More neighborhoods should do this. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Take care, Paula. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Paula. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor in Saint Petersburg donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Monterrey.
Wishing you peace, Paula. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Grand Rapids
