The earthquake hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 19 July. My home was one of 61 damaged, and 6 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 $2,650 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $380
• Tools and labor for repairs: $660
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,610

You're not alone, Salvador. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Love from Accra.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Salvador!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. bedding, blankets and mattresses comes first ($380) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best, Salvador. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Manila
Thinking of you and your family, Salvador. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 6 people at work!
sending strength, Salvador. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
