We lost everything in the typhoon: help the Marketplace neighborhood start over
Neighbors in the Marketplace neighborhood are rebuilding after the typhoon; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The typhoon hit the Marketplace neighborhood on 8 September. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 3 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 $600 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $175
• Food parcels for displaced families: $280
• Clean water and purification supplies: $145
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Recife.
Best of luck, Allan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nnewi.
