The landslide hit Harbor village on 8 November. My home was one of 23 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $2,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,250
• Clean water and purification supplies: $180
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240
• Food parcels for displaced families: $330
• Tools and labor for repairs: $500
Glad we found this place.

thinking of you, Mercedes. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mercedes!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. roofing sheets and timber is the biggest at $1,250. It helps to be asked.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. God bless!
Sending strength, Mercedes. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
You're not alone, Mercedes. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Cali
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Palmira
