The earthquake hit the Lakeview settlement on 11 August. My home was one of 31 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 $600 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $200 • Food parcels for displaced families: $280 • Clean water and purification supplies: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Şule

      Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
