The heatwave hit Riverside village on 5 June. My home was one of 42 damaged, and 14 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 $850 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $650
• Food parcels for displaced families: $120
• Clean water and purification supplies: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Vijay
Update from Dwarka: we've started the first stage. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $185 raised so far (22%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 19% funded and the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. - Vijay
