We lost everything in the cyclone: help Old Town village start over
Neighbors in Old Town village are rebuilding after the cyclone; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇧🇩 Narayanganj, Dhaka, Bangladesh962 views
The cyclone hit Old Town village on 4 September. My home was one of 35 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $850 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $180
• Roofing sheets and timber: $350
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $90
• Tools and labor for repairs: $230
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

how is Tuhin doing now?
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Kisumu!
sending love. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Amiens
is there anything that isn't money that would help Tuhin?
Thank you. If you're in Narayanganj I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you peace, Tuhin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Sheffield.
Stay strong, Tuhin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Cape Town so I could bring a meal. God bless!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tuhin!
Food parcels for displaced families is $180 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you, Tuhin. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Take care, Tuhin. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Pietermaritzburg.
Stay strong, Tuhin. This could happen to any of us.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 28 people at work. All the best.
Take care. Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Good luck, Tuhin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
