The landslide hit the Marketplace district on 14 July. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 7 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $210
• Clean water and purification supplies: $155
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
• Food parcels for displaced families: $405
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Paula. This could happen to any of us
Sending strength, Paula. Hope you get there.
Sending good thoughts, Paula. Shared this with my family. God bless
hang in there, Paula. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, Paula. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
