Ribeirão Preto
The landslide hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 10 February. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 12 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $2,400 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,400 • Tools and labor for repairs: $410 • Clean water and purification supplies: $240 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $350 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sandra

Updates from Sandra

  1. Small update. $253 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($144 in total) I made the first payment toward roofing sheets and timber. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Keep going, Sandra. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

    • Wishing you peace, Sandra. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
