The river erosion hit Eastgate village on 25 August. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 12 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $220
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85
• Tools and labor for repairs: $260
• Food parcels for displaced families: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Ayesha
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($150). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families.
Small update. $95 so far, the plan for roofing sheets and timber is now scheduled.

Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Riverside
Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Ayesha. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
You're not alone, Ayesha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mecca.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
