The winter storm hit the Marketplace district on 1 March. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 10 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $7,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,200
• Clean water and purification supplies: $390
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,450
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,910

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tucson
Thank you. If you're in Tucson I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'll check back for the next update.
You're not alone, Ivy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
shared this with my family. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
hang in there, Ivy. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Tucson.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Tucson.
