The landslide hit the Harbor settlement on 22 July. My home was one of 44 damaged, and 7 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 $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $560
• Clean water and purification supplies: $105
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145
• Food parcels for displaced families: $140
• Tools and labor for repairs: $250
Thanks for reading all this.

wishing you peace, Satish. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Ekurhuleni.
Wishing you peace, Satish. Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal
You're not alone, Satish. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Keep going, Satish. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
