Landslide in Envigado: help Hillcrest village rebuild
After the landslide, families in Hillcrest village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇨🇴 Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia2,303 views
The landslide hit Hillcrest village on 11 July. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 8 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 $1,550 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $420
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $320
• Tools and labor for repairs: $290
• Roofing sheets and timber: $520
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Envigado
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marisol
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. food parcels for displaced families comes first ($420) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
great idea, hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
