Malang
The landslide hit the Millbrook settlement on 23 August. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $950 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $670 • Clean water and purification supplies: $185 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Joko

Updates from Joko

  1. Update from Malang: the plan for roofing sheets and timber is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($162 in total) I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($101). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

                You're not alone, Joko. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

                  you're not alone, Joko. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
