The ice storm hit the Riverside neighborhood on 8 July. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 4 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 $7,050 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $690
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,500
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,810
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Hang. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 39 people at work.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Ottawa.
you're not alone, Hang. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Kochi.
Rooting for you, Hang. Hope you get there. Thinking of Ottawa.
