The flash flood hit Riverside village on 23 September. My home was one of 43 damaged, and 10 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 $700 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $320
• Roofing sheets and timber: $300
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $80

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lina
Food parcels for displaced families is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Lina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Giza.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Love from Xalapa.

Wishing you peace, Lina. More neighborhoods should do this. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Newport!
