We lost everything in the hurricane: help Eastgate village start over
Neighbors in Eastgate village are rebuilding after the hurricane; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The hurricane hit Eastgate village on 3 December. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 14 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 $4,600 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $980
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,500
• Food parcels for displaced families: $2,120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Hugo. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Buffalo.
Good luck, Hugo. I hope things turn around soon. After 21 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Lecce this morning. God bless.
Good luck. Hope you get there. Love from Negombo
Sending good thoughts. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
