The typhoon hit Millbrook village on 30 May. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 7 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 $1,200 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Roofing sheets and timber: $670
• Tools and labor for repairs: $210
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thủy?
You're not alone, Thủy. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Sending strength, Thủy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Jabalpur.
Thinking of you and your family, Thủy. Hope this works out for you. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Howrah.
this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Leeds.
