The landslide hit the families of Marketplace Lane on 16 September. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 13 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $1,500 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $700 • Clean water and purification supplies: $120 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95 • Food parcels for displaced families: $165 • Tools and labor for repairs: $420 Glad we found this place.

  • hang in there, Wawan. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

    • Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

        Wishing you the best, Wawan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Love from Colombo.

        • Hope things get better soon, Wawan. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Yekaterinburg

            thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
