Bang Khen
The flood hit the families of Marketplace Lane on 28 January. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 13 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $1,100 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $115 • Roofing sheets and timber: $720 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $265 Glad we found this place. - Wirat

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Wirat.

        • Wirat Lertchai BoonmeeOwnerAnswer

          The list at the bottom is the whole picture. clean water and purification supplies is the biggest at $115. Fair thing to want to know.

      • Axel B. Munoz

        Good luck. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
