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

The ice storm hit the Harbor neighborhood on 14 July. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 14 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 $8,950 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $880
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,300
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,870
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
hope it all works out, Gabriella. Shared this with my family.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Grenoble this morning.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nairobi.
What exactly is the $8,950 for?
Roofing sheets and timber is $3,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Gabriella. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Lagos.
Praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Sending strength, Gabriella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
sending good thoughts, Gabriella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
