The river erosion hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 5 December. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 4 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $950 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140 • Food parcels for displaced families: $220 • Roofing sheets and timber: $440 • Clean water and purification supplies: $150 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

            Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Narayanganj

            • Best of luck, Shima. Shared this with my family. Love from Guadalajara.

              • Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
