Landslide in Vadodara: help the Greenfield neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Greenfield neighborhood are rebuilding after the landslide; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇮🇳 Vadodara, Gujarat, India1,160 views
The landslide hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 14 August. My home was one of 24 damaged, and 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $370
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
• Food parcels for displaced families: $100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $380
I hope life is good to you.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kanpur so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Liton!

Hope things get better soon, Liton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Good luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Houston but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Houston!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Peshawar.
