The landslide hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 16 June. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 10 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 $1,750 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $450 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $150 • Roofing sheets and timber: $960 • Food parcels for displaced families: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Miguel
