The landslide hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 15 September. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 2 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 $500 goes: โ€ข Roofing sheets and timber: $330 โ€ข Clean water and purification supplies: $65 โ€ข Food parcels for displaced families: $105 I hope life is good to you. - Heru

Updates from Heru

  1. 27% there. the first invoice got paid this week. Thank you.

  2. Quick update: $5 raised so far (1%). I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • Sending love. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Thinking of Magelang.

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

      • Heru KartikaOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($330) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

    • Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Da Nang
