The winter storm hit the Orchard settlement on 10 September. My home was one of 67 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 $7,100 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,900
• Food parcels for displaced families: $760
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,440
Every share and every dollar helps.

You're not alone, Oliver. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Good luck, Oliver. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
Wishing you the best, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Gazipur.
Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Love from Ikeja
