The flood hit Marketplace village on 4 April. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 5 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 $400 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $115 • Clean water and purification supplies: $130 • Tools and labor for repairs: $155 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Umar

  • can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bandung!

    • Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about bedding, blankets and mattresses, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.

  • wishing you peace, Umar. Shared this with my family.

    • More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Ciudad de México

      • Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

        • Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Bandung

          • thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 33 people at work.
