Thousands of homes, roads and bridges have been washed away in nature's fury, and the death toll from the latest spell has risen to 164. Around 300,000 people are now in camps.

I am launching this fundraising to assist those in need over there. Total estimated damage is around $2 Billion US dollars and rising.

Please contribute even the smallest possible amount and same will be transferred to State's Disaster Relief Fund.
