The volcanic eruption hit the Marketplace settlement on 31 July. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $1,450 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $530
• Clean water and purification supplies: $145
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175
• Food parcels for displaced families: $260
• Tools and labor for repairs: $340
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Dedi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Yogyakarta.
good luck, Dedi. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 29 people at work. Thinking of Yogyakarta.
So sorry you're going through this, Dedi. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
