The landslide hit the Eastgate district on 27 August. My home was one of 55 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $2,800 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,250 • Clean water and purification supplies: $230 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $390 • Food parcels for displaced families: $570 • Tools and labor for repairs: $360 Thank you for reading my story.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Carolina?

      Thank you. If you're in Santos I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

    this could happen to any of us. After 29 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Kimberly W. Schwartz

      Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. God bless

        So sorry you're going through this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

        • Meet S. Sawant

          Wishing you peace, Carolina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

          • Sipho F. Moodley

            Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Santos

              Sending love, Carolina. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
