The landslide hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 10 February. My home was one of 60 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall. 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 $1,150 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $390 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175 • Clean water and purification supplies: $135 • Food parcels for displaced families: $450 Thank you for reading my story. - Thawatchai

    More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

      Is there anything that isn't money that would help Thawatchai?
