The volcanic eruption hit the Orchard district on 21 June. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 2 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $660
• Clean water and purification supplies: $160
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220
• Food parcels for displaced families: $270
• Tools and labor for repairs: $190
With deep gratitude,
Yoga

Take care, Yoga. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Surakarta.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Surakarta!
Thank you. If you're in Surakarta I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Newcastle.
Rooting for you, Yoga. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
keep going, Yoga. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Indore
