The landslide hit the Harbor district on 8 August. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 14 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 $650 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $280
• Clean water and purification supplies: $155
• Food parcels for displaced families: $215
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kanchana?
Sending strength, Kanchana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nashik.
Hope things get better soon, Kanchana. Gave what I could, wish it was more
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kanchana.
Tools and labor for repairs is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thanks for sharing this, Kanchana. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Take care, Kanchana. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
You're not alone, Kanchana. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
