Tiruchirappalli
The heatwave hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 20 July. My home was one of 44 damaged, and 14 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 $800 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $260 • Food parcels for displaced families: $300 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Satish

      thinking of you, Satish. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best

        Stay strong, Satish. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

          Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from La Plata.
