Lalitpur

The earthquake hit the Marketplace settlement on 24 April. My home was one of 52 damaged, and 11 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 $950 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $85 • Food parcels for displaced families: $150 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140 • Roofing sheets and timber: $575 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Sanjay
