Rebuilding after the volcanic eruption: the Eastgate neighborhood needs your help
After the volcanic eruption, families in the Eastgate neighborhood need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The volcanic eruption hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 4 April. My home was one of 45 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $185
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Tools and labor for repairs: $270
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $225
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($135 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Santos so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Irfan. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Jakarta
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Rohini
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning.
hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Keep going, Irfan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
