The earthquake hit the families of Old Town Lane on 30 October. My home was one of 40 damaged, and 7 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 $1,750 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $520 • Roofing sheets and timber: $650 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $310 • Clean water and purification supplies: $270 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Feyza

          Best of luck, Feyza. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
