Duque de Caxias
The landslide hit the families of Old Town Lane on 18 September. My home was one of 19 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $1,850 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $660 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $410 • Roofing sheets and timber: $550 • Clean water and purification supplies: $230 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    wishing you peace, Regina. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
