The hurricane hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 8 October. My home was one of 58 damaged, and 4 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $4,950 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,200 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,600 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,150 Thank you so much. - Hugo

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hugo.

    • Hugo F. PérezOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Clean water and purification supplies is $1,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

  • Alexandra A. Jacobs

    You're not alone, Hugo. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!

    • Samjhana Parvati Limbu

      Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

        Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
