The earthquake hit the Orchard district on 12 April. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $1,300 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $580 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $320 • Food parcels for displaced families: $310 • Clean water and purification supplies: $90 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • Praying for you, Lubna. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

    • Sending love, Lubna. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Peoria so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Fez

      • looking forward to the next update. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Birmingham.

        • Thanks for sharing this, Lubna. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

          • Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page.

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lubna

              • Lubna Amal ZakiOwnerAnswerID verified

                Roofing sheets and timber is $580 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

              • Wishing you peace, Lubna. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Jacksonville

                • Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.

                  • Keep going, Lubna. Hope you get there.

                      So sorry you're going through this, Lubna. 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

                        shared it with a few friends. Love from Medellín.

                        • hang in there. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

                          • Keep going. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
