Urgent Appeal for Help - Topsia Fire Tragedy

On December 20 (yesterday), a massive fire ravaged the Topsia shanty (Mazdoorpara) canalside sewage, leaving 125 families homeless. Many people lost everything — their houses, shops, belongings, including essential items like children's books, furniture, money, savings, clothes, kitchen utensils and many more household items. The destruction is heartbreaking, and the survivors are now in desperate need of support.

One of the child Rehan (name changed) school books have turned into ashes and the Board exams are due in 2 months.

One women, crying profusely couldn't saved the amount she kept for building her house. There are many such heart breaking stories like this.

We call on your generosity to help rebuild these lives. The affected families urgently require the following donations:

Food for sustenance

Mosquito nets for protection (very urgent)

Kitchen utensils to cook and eat

Pet Bottles (1 Litre X 4 bottles) for each family

Water Bucket with Mug

Tarpauline

Emergency Lights

Bamboos to rebuild temporary shelters

Blankets, shawls and warm clothes for the cold weather

Bedsheets

Sarees for the women

Baby food, Milk

Soap, Detergent Powder

Dry Food like Puffed Rice (Muri), Jaggery, Biscuits, Cakes

Stove

Aluminium Trunk for each family

Floor Mats (Chitai)

Sanitary Napkins

Bamboos, Darma

Your contribution can bring hope to these families who have lost everything. We are deeply grateful for any support, big or small. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in their recovery.

Please come forward and help in any way you can.

This is a special appeal from Tiljala SHED to all on behalf of their Emergency Food and Medicine for Kolkata's Poorest at Topsia. Please come forward to make a difference
