We lost everything in the storm: help the Marketplace district start over

The storm hit the Marketplace district on 31 July. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $3,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $980
• Clean water and purification supplies: $370
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $390
• Food parcels for displaced families: $550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $760
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Dan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Gaya
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Thinking of București.
