We lost everything in the cyclone: help Orchard village start over

Neighbors in Orchard village are rebuilding after the cyclone; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The cyclone hit Orchard village on 20 July. My home was one of 24 damaged, and 2 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,000 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $370 • Clean water and purification supplies: $90 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $90 • Food parcels for displaced families: $125 • Tools and labor for repairs: $325 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ganesh

    reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

    • Vanessa F. ValdezQuestion

      can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dwarka.

      • Thắng Tài Vo

        Good luck, Ganesh. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

          Wishing you the best, Ganesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.

          • Khadija Rahma Nabulsi

              take care, Ganesh. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
