The landslide hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 24 February. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $700 goes:
โข Food parcels for displaced families: $185
โข Clean water and purification supplies: $85
โข Tools and labor for repairs: $430
Thank you for reading my story.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Achieng.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. food parcels for displaced families is the biggest at $185.
stay strong, Achieng. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Sending love, Achieng. Your post was clear and honest. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care
