The river erosion hit the families of Marketplace Lane on 29 March. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 8 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 $500 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $110
• Clean water and purification supplies: $60
• Roofing sheets and timber: $330
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Runa
Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($57). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled.
Small update. $57 so far, I made the first payment toward clean water and purification supplies.
Update from Gazipur: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Aurangabad.
