Flood in Bangkok: help the Riverside settlement rebuild
Neighbors in the Riverside settlement are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand908 views
The flood hit the Riverside settlement on 18 July. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $1,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $190
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220
• Food parcels for displaced families: $170
• Tools and labor for repairs: $470
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Ubol?
Thank you. If you're in Bangkok I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Best of luck, Ubol. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
best of luck, Ubol. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Nicolás de los Garza.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ubol.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($650) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Dhaka.
So sorry you're going through this, Ubol. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Auckland
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Blessings.
stay strong, Ubol. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
