The landslide hit Marketplace village on 20 August. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $1,750 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $410
• Roofing sheets and timber: $740
• Tools and labor for repairs: $600
Thank you for reading my story.

Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from 6th of October City.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mateus.
It's all in the list in the story. food parcels for displaced families is the big one at $410, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Leipzig so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Mateus. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Riverside so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Mateus. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Juiz de Fora
Keep going, Mateus. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Sending love, Mateus. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Caloocan donated after I showed her your page
so sorry you're going through this. More neighborhoods should do this. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
