Medellín

The landslide hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 21 June. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 4 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 $1,100 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $490 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $340 • Food parcels for displaced families: $270 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Isabel

Updates from Isabel

Quick update: $372 raised so far (34%). the plan for tools and labor for repairs is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($139 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
