The heatwave hit the families of Riverside Lane on 12 June. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $1,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $620
• Clean water and purification supplies: $75
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $85
• Food parcels for displaced families: $300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $220
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Sukkur.
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Epe donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Mekelle
Sending love, Dipika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Radom but we're thinking of you. Love from Radom.
