The building collapse hit the Greenfield settlement on 2 August. My home was one of 45 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $650 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $340
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Take care, Rahma. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Tehuacán but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Sending love, Rahma. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't give up. Take care.
Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there!
