The flood hit Marketplace village on 30 June. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 10 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 $1,550 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $640 • Clean water and purification supplies: $165 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $155 • Food parcels for displaced families: $200 • Tools and labor for repairs: $390 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Vilai

      Thank you. If you're in Chiang Mai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Do-yoon Jin-woo Do

    Wishing you the best, Vilai. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Radom but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Chiang Mai.

    • Diana Bonsu

      Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning. Take care.

        • Emma W. White

          Thanks for sharing this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bandung
