The landslide hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 14 February. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $1,850 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $390 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240 • Roofing sheets and timber: $990 • Clean water and purification supplies: $230 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Eliane

Updates from Eliane

  1. Small update. $540 so far, the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($330 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
