The shelling damage hit the Orchard district on 29 March. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 10 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $1,350 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $410 • Clean water and purification supplies: $185 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210 • Food parcels for displaced families: $220 • Tools and labor for repairs: $325 I hope life is good to you. - Maksym

    Praying for you, Maksym. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless

                Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
