Earthquake in Lahore: help the families of Riverside Lane rebuild

🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,662 views
The earthquake hit the families of Riverside Lane on 24 July. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 8 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $800 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $135
• Roofing sheets and timber: $470
• Food parcels for displaced families: $195
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, Bilal. More neighborhoods should do this
praying for you, Bilal. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Praying for you. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from Jinja.
Sending strength, Bilal. This could happen to any of us. Love from London.
Wishing you the best, Bilal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Lahore.
