The typhoon hit the Millbrook district on 19 February. My home was one of 38 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $1,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $600
• Clean water and purification supplies: $155
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $110
• Food parcels for displaced families: $145
• Tools and labor for repairs: $290
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Jenny. Hope you get there. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Sherbrooke.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 6 people at work. Love from Paarl
Hang in there, Jenny. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope things get better soon, Jenny. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Lagos.
Good luck, Jenny. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Embakasi.
take care, Jenny. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Rooting for you, Jenny. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning
