The landslide hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 27 January. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $1,050 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $75 • Tools and labor for repairs: $170 • Roofing sheets and timber: $620 • Clean water and purification supplies: $185 Thank you for reading my story.

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Paris but we're thinking of you

        Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Lexington
