The storm hit the Old Town settlement on 19 August. My home was one of 13 damaged, and 8 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 $4,350 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $650
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,750
• Clean water and purification supplies: $950
Every share and every dollar helps.

Good luck, Eva. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Birmingham!
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best
more neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Shubra but we're thinking of you.
praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you, Eva. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Thinking of you, Eva. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of The Hague.
So sorry you're going through this, Eva. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
Stay strong, Eva. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Nagpur
