The landslide hit the families of Riverside Lane on 19 September. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 10 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 $1,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $290
• Clean water and purification supplies: $150
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $170
• Food parcels for displaced families: $210
• Tools and labor for repairs: $280
Thanks for being kind about this.

Any update on how things are going in Jaffna?
Rooting for you, Dinesh. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Bursa this morning. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dinesh.
Roofing sheets and timber is $290 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
thinking of you and your family, Dinesh. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Makati but we're thinking of you
Stay strong, Dinesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Nîmes
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Jaffna!
Wishing you peace, Dinesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from São Paulo
Hope things get better soon, Dinesh. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Narayanganj
Good luck, Dinesh. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Take care, Dinesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Jaffna.
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Tamale donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Dinesh. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
