The river erosion hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 9 June. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $270
• Clean water and purification supplies: $110
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140
• Food parcels for displaced families: $180
• Tools and labor for repairs: $200
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 19 people at work.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rakib.
Roofing sheets and timber is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
hope things get better soon. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Tlaquepaque so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Savar.
Take care, Rakib. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
