The heatwave hit the families of Orchard Lane on 19 December. My home was one of 40 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $460
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $215
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending good thoughts, Seema. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
How is Seema doing now?
Stay strong, Seema. More neighborhoods should do this!
Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 6 people at work. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pune.
