The river erosion hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 8 May. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 7 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 $950 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $360
• Clean water and purification supplies: $135
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $65
• Food parcels for displaced families: $160
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Salma. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
thinking of you, Salma. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 4 people at work. Thinking of Narayanganj.
You're not alone, Salma. More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madrid
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care
