The landslide hit the Lakeview district on 15 June. My home was one of 50 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 $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $480
• Clean water and purification supplies: $100
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95
• Food parcels for displaced families: $290
• Tools and labor for repairs: $235
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Calamba.
Stay strong, Paolo. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Galway.
sending good thoughts, Paolo. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
