The flood hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 16 July. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 10 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 $5,000 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,350
• Clean water and purification supplies: $620
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,650
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,380
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending love, Nora. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Denpasar this morning.
You're not alone, Nora. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Nora. Great idea, hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
take care, Nora. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
