Flood in Bangkok: help the Millbrook settlement rebuild
The flood damaged 22 homes in the Millbrook settlement. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand1,748 views
The flood hit the Millbrook settlement on 4 August. My home was one of 22 damaged, and 8 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $450
• Tools and labor for repairs: $480
• Clean water and purification supplies: $240
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $130
With deep gratitude,
Lalita

It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $450, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
