The earthquake hit Marketplace village on 23 August. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $950 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $430 • Tools and labor for repairs: $135 • Food parcels for displaced families: $280 • Clean water and purification supplies: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Nur

    Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from São Paulo.
