The heatwave hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 19 June. My home was one of 82 damaged, and 14 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 $650 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240
• Roofing sheets and timber: $240
• Tools and labor for repairs: $170
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lipi.
Bedding, blankets and mattresses is $240 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you, Lipi. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Hubballi so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lipi?
Thank you. If you're in Aurangabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
How is Lipi doing now?
Hang in there, Lipi. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
you're not alone, Lipi. Hope this works out for you. Love from Rabat

Thinking of you and your family, Lipi. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Aurangabad.
