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

The hurricane hit the Harbor district on 6 July. My home was one of 88 damaged, and 13 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $7,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,950
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $620
• Clean water and purification supplies: $580
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Albuquerque!
Thank you. If you're in Albuquerque I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning. Thinking of Albuquerque.
