The shelling damage hit Hillcrest village on 11 March. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 7 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $380
• Clean water and purification supplies: $240
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $320
• Food parcels for displaced families: $240
• Tools and labor for repairs: $270
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Alina. More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor in Port Harcourt donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Odesa.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page.

So sorry you're going through this, Alina. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Manila.
keep going, Alina. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Alina. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Mumbai.
