The hurricane hit the Northside district on 20 September. My home was one of 53 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $2,300 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $630
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $590
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,080
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Brenda. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of San Antonio.
Sending good thoughts, Brenda. Looking forward to the next update. After 11 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Take care, Brenda. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Sending love, Brenda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Mississauga.
