The building collapse hit Northside village on 17 June. My home was one of 50 damaged, and 3 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $900 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $320 • Clean water and purification supplies: $160 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $90 • Food parcels for displaced families: $170 • Tools and labor for repairs: $160 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Imad

    Best of luck, Imad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

    • Nova A. Moore

      Hope it all works out, Imad. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Milan.

        Rooting for you, Imad. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
