The earthquake hit the Lakeview district on 8 May. My home was one of 14 damaged, and 14 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 $2,350 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $460
• Food parcels for displaced families: $450
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $500
• Roofing sheets and timber: $940
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Crete. I'll ask around and let you know.
