6th of October City
The building collapse hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 16 December. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $500 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $200 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145 • Tools and labor for repairs: $155 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Hiba

    Thinking of you and your family, Hiba. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

    • Shared it with a few friends. I hope March is when things finally get easier. All the best.

      • Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Bang Khen.

        • Wishing you peace, Hiba. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Thinking of 6th of October City.

          • So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Cox's Bazar so I could bring a meal

            • Great idea, hope you get there. After 17 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

              • Take care. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Petrópolis.
