The hurricane hit the Greenfield settlement on 26 June. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $3,550 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,700 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,350 • Clean water and purification supplies: $500 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

        • Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 29 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Orlando.
