Thủ Đức
The typhoon hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 6 May. My home was one of 23 damaged, and 5 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 $1,350 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $460 • Clean water and purification supplies: $130 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240 • Food parcels for displaced families: $140 • Tools and labor for repairs: $380 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

      Hang in there, Quỳnh. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

      • Dario D'Angelo

        Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Denpasar

        • Rashed Shakil Zaman

          Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Gliwice.

          • Derek M. Myers

            Stay strong, Quỳnh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
