Little steps

Update posted by Sawa Amano

We are very thankful to everyone who has donated and supported us so far. There are still some smaller earthquakes happening but it happens less then before so we hope that there will not be any new major earthquake. There are a couple of updates I would like to share with you.

We have repaired:

- the entrance door(put cloth on it, still need to repair but it's able to use now)

- windows facing the street

- sorted out all the rubble inside of the house

- got rid of broken furtniture

- repaired the toilet

- ''carpenters'' we are waiting for them but it will take a while because there are not many in the area and they are booked to visit too many shattered houses

Our plan to buy a prefab house for our parents to put in the garden had to be changed as the company that sells them in our area put the prices up so much! Because the money is tight we decided we would rather put all of it towards the house renovation.

My parents have been sleeping at relatives' place and just this week they decided to try to sleep in the house even though it is hard to breathe inside because it is still very dusty.

What is still pressing issue is to stabilize the house which is leaning on one side and to repair the roof which has most of the tiles missing.

We would greatly appreciate if you could share our gogetfunding page on your social media. Thank you very much!
