The volcanic eruption hit the Harbor district on 13 January. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 4 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 $1,550 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $620 • Clean water and purification supplies: $160 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175 • Food parcels for displaced families: $260 • Tools and labor for repairs: $335 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Intan

  1. Quick update: $362 raised so far (23%). the plan for roofing sheets and timber is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($332 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
