The landslide hit the families of Orchard Lane on 19 August. My home was one of 63 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $1,300 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $760 • Clean water and purification supplies: $150 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125 • Food parcels for displaced families: $130 • Tools and labor for repairs: $135 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

                  reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ludhiana.
