The landslide hit the Greenfield district on 26 August. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $750 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $210 • Food parcels for displaced families: $175 • Clean water and purification supplies: $145 • Roofing sheets and timber: $220 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Nitin

  • take care. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nitin?

      • Thank you. If you're in Bengaluru I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

        • Stay strong, Nitin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless

          • Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
