The landslide hit the Northside settlement on 6 July. My home was one of 76 damaged, and 9 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,200 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $730 • Tools and labor for repairs: $290 • Food parcels for displaced families: $180 I hope life is good to you.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Waraporn.

    • It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $730, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
