We lost everything in the winter storm: help the Sunrise neighborhood start over

The winter storm hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 12 April. My home was one of 12 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $3,550 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,000
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,700
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $850
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Huda. Hope this works out for you. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Sydney.
hope you get there. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Love from San Diego
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Saint Petersburg donated after I showed her your page. God bless
