Our little village was severely damaged by Storm Kristin, when winds in excess of 200 km/h hit us on January 28th, 2026.

Now, we’re ready to tackle our next daunting project: roofing and repairing another house that was very badly damaged in the storm.

It’s a huge job, but we’re determined to do as much as we can ourselves. We still have the equipment we bought thanks to your previous support, but this time we’re going to need some additional help and, without a doubt, materials and a builder.

We're estimating that materials will cost at least 3000 euros and although we'll do as much of the work ourselves, replacing heavy timbers in the roof and floors requires us to employ skilled workers.

We’ve been here for six years and, apart from being hit by a hurricane, we’ve never had to ask for help like this. It’s not something we find easy to do. But this was a truly once-in-a-lifetime weather event, and it has set our little village back enormously and any donations would make such a difference to us.

The urgency now is real. If we can’t get this house water tight soon, we risk losing it to the winter weather. We desperately want to preserve it and continue to keep our little village alive for years to come.

For the past 7 months, we’ve worked incredibly hard to repair the devastation ourselves. Thanks to the amazing generosity of everyone who supported our last GoFundMe, we’ve been able to repair the volunteer accommodation and the workshop — both absolutely crucial to village life. None of that would have been possible without your kindness, and we will be forever grateful. ❤️

Once again we have found ourselves in a position where we need to ask for your help

Any donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Every contribution gets us one step closer to protecting this historic village and rebuilding what Storm Kristin took from us.

If you can’t donate, sharing our GoFundMe would mean just as much. ❤️

Thank you for standing with our little village — we truly couldn’t do this without you.
