We lost everything in the typhoon: help the Harbor district start over

After the typhoon, families in the Harbor district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

Makati
The typhoon hit the Harbor district on 10 September. My home was one of 29 damaged, and 8 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 $1,050 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $80 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $135 • Tools and labor for repairs: $140 • Roofing sheets and timber: $695 With deep gratitude, Fernando
