The landslide hit the Eastgate settlement on 27 August. My home was one of 52 damaged, and 10 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $2,050 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $360 • Tools and labor for repairs: $620 • Roofing sheets and timber: $730 • Clean water and purification supplies: $340 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Wishing you peace, Clive. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Clive.

      • Clive C. MorganOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

        Sure. The biggest one is food parcels for displaced families, $360. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

    • Rooting for you, Clive. I hope things turn around soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.

        great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

          Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Montego Bay.

            Thank you. If you're in Montego Bay I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

        • Thanks for sharing this, Clive. This could happen to any of us. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!

          • stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

            • Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
