To summarize the memo above, the total amount of the suggested home repairs is $766.39.
This would include:
Purchasing a refrigerator and accessories for safe food storage
Installing a real window where the hole is now
Replacing the home's doors with screened ones that fit better
The main purpose of these home improvements are an attempt to control the fly problem that plagues Paola's household. However, as the memo points out, much of the responsibility for this falls upon the family changes their living habits. I think the fly infestation probably bothers us more than it bothers them!
It's great news that the roof is already being repaired without our assistance!
The plan for raising this money is primarily to use Aura's House. Paola has a slot waiting for her, and she's been grandfathered in so that we won't have to pay CI the 10% service fee.
If Aura's House is willing to allow us a total of $1000, I'd also like to look into buying a metallic cabinet to store dishes and kitchen items in a more hygienic manner. This is something that the family requested last year, and the quote given was $187. It could be cheaper, though, because the refrigerator quote has gone down significantly since we first asked about the price.
If you have any thoughts or ideas about fundraising, feel free to contact me and/or the other team members.
