The landslide hit the Marketplace settlement on 27 August. My home was one of 79 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $750 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95
• Clean water and purification supplies: $175
• Roofing sheets and timber: $480
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Parvathi. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best
Best of luck, Parvathi. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from London.
