The heatwave hit Old Town village on 12 September. My home was one of 14 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $1,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $810
• Clean water and purification supplies: $155
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $195
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Tools and labor for repairs: $320
Thanks for being kind about this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Lapu-Lapu so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Ramesh. Great idea, hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Indore.
Rooting for you, Ramesh. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Glasgow!
Thanks for sharing this, Ramesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Indore
Take care. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Love from Iztapalapa.
rooting for you, Ramesh. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Good luck, Ramesh. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Chiang Mai.
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Love from Liverpool.
Praying for you, Ramesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Bordeaux.
