The landslide hit Eastgate village on 3 March. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 10 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,350 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $330 • Clean water and purification supplies: $155 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175 • Roofing sheets and timber: $690 Glad we found this place. - Ajay

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care!

    • Babar JilaniQuestion

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ajay

      • Ajay PanwarOwnerAnswer

        It's all in the list in the story. tools and labor for repairs is the big one at $330, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • Lorenzo Filippo Milani

      Thinking of you and your family, Ajay. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Nasser Kamal Soliman

        Best of luck, Ajay. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Krishna R. Bhatia

          Rooting for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Marrakesh but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

          • Stéphane Marty

            Hang in there, Ajay. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
