Request for Building a Home for my family
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Chathura Erandha, and I am a 40-year-old resident of a remote village in the Badulla District of Sri Lanka. My family and I need help because we are going through difficult times which have created urgent need for assistance. I am the only source of income for my family which consists of my two children and my two elderly parents who are 62 and 65 years old and my sister who has separated from her husband and stays with us together with her two children. My parents have permanent medical conditions which require treatment because I experience health problems that need regular medical care. My wife also gets sick frequently which creates difficulties for her when she needs to look after our household. I currently lack permanent employment so I depend on temporary work to sustain my life. I cannot work when I am sick which causes our family to lose all sources of income. Our situation has become worse because we lack proper housing and providing my family with shelter has become an impossible burden. I ask for your help to construct a house for my family because our current situation demands it. A safe and secure place to live would provide us with the stability we desperately need and allow us to focus on improving our health and well-being. I will provide all required evidence to prove our current circumstances and I hope your organization will extend support to us during this urgent situation. I appreciate your decision to read my letter and evaluate my request. I hope you will help me and I appreciate any help you can give at this time. Yours sincerely,

Urgently Need a Safe, Small Home for My Child 🙏
Dear Friends and Kind Hearts, ​I am a father from Sri Lanka, writing this with a heavy heart but filled with hope for my 3.5-year-old child's future. ​As you can see from the photos, our family home is currently in a very dangerous condition. The walls were badly cracked and structurally compromised. To ensure my child’s safety, I recently had to break down the most unsafe parts of the house myself. Every single day, I lived in constant fear that something might collapse and hurt my baby. ​Because of this, we have not been able to live in our own home for the past 8 months. We have no safe place of our own, so we are currently staying at my father-in-law’s house. ​I am not trying to rebuild a large or luxurious house. My only dream and goal is to build a small, safe, and secure living space where my child can sleep and grow without fear. ​To keep costs as low as possible, I am managing everything myself. I am not hiring a contractor. Instead, I plan to do the construction using daily-paid laborers and by reusing any undamaged materials from the old structure. ​Based on the current cost of materials and basic labor in Sri Lanka, I am hoping to raise USD 3,500. Every dollar of this amount will be strictly used for essential construction needs, such as cement, sand, bricks, and labor, to build a safe structure. ​I promise to share transparent updates and progress photos here as the work continues, so you can see exactly how your generosity is changing our lives. ​Every small contribution, even just a few dollars, means the entire world to us. Please help me give my child a safe place to call home. ​Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support. ❤️ 🙏
