In Ho Chi Minh City, large numbers of residents headed to donation centers of the municipal Fatherland Front to contribute money, food, clothing, and other essentials for people in Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Lam Dong and Khanh Hoa. All hope that those in the flood-hit areas will soon overcome hardship and resume their normal lives.

“The floods are very dangerous right now. We hope people can stay strong and overcome this natural disaster. Whatever we can contribute, we will do our best to help." 

“I brought clothes and some new towels to donate. It’s heartbreaking to see the flooding. I feel deeply for the people affected. I hope they stay resilient, recover quickly, and that everyone continues to show love and support for one another.”

“We’re here to help sort donated goods so they can be delivered directly to people in the flood-hit regions. We hope they can stay strong. There are many benefactors ready to stand with them and help them recover from the disaster.”
