Rebuilding after the earthquake: the Riverside neighborhood needs your help
After the earthquake, families in the Riverside neighborhood need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The earthquake hit the Riverside neighborhood on 25 October. My home was one of 28 damaged, and 12 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $850 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $240
• Tools and labor for repairs: $430
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
