The building collapse hit Old Town village on 25 August. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 10 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 $900 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $290
• Roofing sheets and timber: $370
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thanks for sharing this, Hiba. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Giza.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hiba
Tools and labor for repairs is $290 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going, Hiba. This could happen to any of us. Love from Joliet.
Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Rome.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Quezon City.

Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Columbus this morning.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending good thoughts, Hiba. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mumbai.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 38 people at work. Thinking of Giza.

Take care, Hiba. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Kinondoni.
