The earthquake hit the Marketplace settlement on 18 April. My home was one of 79 damaged, and 5 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 $1,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $580
• Clean water and purification supplies: $120
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $75
• Food parcels for displaced families: $80
• Tools and labor for repairs: $195
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Nadeem. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Casablanca but we're thinking of you!
you're not alone, Nadeem. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Faisalabad.
wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
Sending love, Nadeem. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Townsville
Sending strength, Nadeem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
