We lost everything in the typhoon: help Greenfield village start over

The typhoon hit Greenfield village on 30 April. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 14 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 $450 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $155
• Food parcels for displaced families: $145
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
