The heatwave hit the Eastgate settlement on 13 August. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 2 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 $850 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $65
• Roofing sheets and timber: $390
• Tools and labor for repairs: $245
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Coimbatore.
praying for you, Sunil. Great idea, hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Coimbatore
Sending good thoughts, Sunil. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kathmandu.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
wishing you peace, Sunil. I hope things turn around soon.
Best of luck, Sunil. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
