Rebuilding after the building collapse: Sunrise village needs your help
Neighbors in Sunrise village are rebuilding after the building collapse; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The building collapse hit Sunrise village on 27 August. My home was one of 38 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $1,200 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $115
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
• Roofing sheets and timber: $655
With deep gratitude,
Aisha

Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Manchester.
is clean water and purification supplies the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Sure. The biggest one is clean water and purification supplies, $115. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you peace, Aisha. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
