The flash flood hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 6 March. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 12 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $4,150 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $580 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,070 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Hang in there, Harper. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

    • Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care

      • Wishing you the best. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Bursa so I could bring a meal. Love from Yogyakarta.

        • Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
