The typhoon hit the Hillcrest settlement on 23 March. My home was one of 84 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 $1,450 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $330
• Clean water and purification supplies: $80
• Roofing sheets and timber: $800
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Trisha
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. tools and labor for repairs is the biggest at $330. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength, Trisha. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
