🇹🇭 Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand371 views
The flood hit Lakeview village on 2 September. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 12 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 $1,600 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $360
• Tools and labor for repairs: $470
• Roofing sheets and timber: $480
• Clean water and purification supplies: $290
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Wanida
Quick update: $141 raised so far (9%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($248 in total) I made the first payment toward bedding, blankets and mattresses. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
