Da Nang
The flood hit the families of Riverside Lane on 4 July. My home was one of 28 damaged, and 3 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,100 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $350 • Clean water and purification supplies: $105 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $155 • Food parcels for displaced families: $280 • Tools and labor for repairs: $210 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Anh

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
