The heatwave hit the Orchard district on 16 December. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 3 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 $1,000 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $140
• Roofing sheets and timber: $540
• Food parcels for displaced families: $110
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

wishing you the best, Payal. Hope you get there.
Sending strength, Payal. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Aurangabad.
hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Take care, Payal. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Payal. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Aurangabad
