Rebuilding after the heatwave: the Orchard district needs your help
Neighbors in the Orchard district are rebuilding after the heatwave; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India665 views
The heatwave hit the Orchard district on 10 September. My home was one of 13 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $1,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $115
• Food parcels for displaced families: $230
• Tools and labor for repairs: $265
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Hanoi donated after I showed her your page.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
