The landslide hit the families of Harbor Lane on 17 September. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 10 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 $1,350 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $570 • Clean water and purification supplies: $65 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $200 • Food parcels for displaced families: $185 • Tools and labor for repairs: $330 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Deepak

  1. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($278). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward tools and labor for repairs.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($436 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $436 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
