The landslide hit the Marketplace district on 23 June. My home was one of 25 damaged, and 13 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220
• Roofing sheets and timber: $580
• Food parcels for displaced families: $350
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong, Fernanda. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of São Paulo.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of São Paulo
