Half-Way Tree
The landslide hit Northside village on 30 August. My home was one of 49 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,050 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $530 • Clean water and purification supplies: $130 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $390 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Novelette

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 36 people at work. Love from Surabaya

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Novelette

      • So sorry you're going through this, Novelette. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
