<h1>Fundraising for Chiang Mai Flood Relief ﻿☀﻿</h1>As you may have heard, Chiang Mai has been hit by a record flood. Lanna programming should not be affected (we shared updates to folks arriving in the next 1-2 weeks) but the most important thing right now is that the local community has been greatly impacted, and this presents an opportunity for us to be able to give back to the local area that is hosting us. <h3>How can we help?</h3>Right now, the best way to support is by donating money that will allow locals to buy supplies:<ul><li>Any amount - Food and water: This is the priority right now and what the local team on the ground is focused on. Every little bit helps.</li><li>$5 - Bucket: Handy for carrying water or cleaning solutions for flood cleanup.</li><li>$10 - Water slider: Helps efficiently push water off smooth surfaces like tile or concrete.</li><li>$10 - Mop: Useful for cleaning and drying wet floors after water removal.</li><li>$150 - Mobile water pump: Essential for quickly removing standing water from flooded areas.</li><li>$200 - High-pressure washing machine: Powerful for cleaning mud and debris from surfaces after a flood.</li><li>$250 - Safety Boat: Very important for safely evacuating people and valuable items from the flood.</li></ul><h3> </h3><h3>How to donate</h3><ul><li>Donate in fiat here: <a href="https://buy.stripe.com/3csdTGfWIg1B68o9AB" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://buy.stripe.com/3csdTGfWIg1B68o9AB</a></li><li>Donate in crypto via Giveth</li></ul> We will create NFT badges based on donation levels. If you donate the following, you’ll get the corresponding Lanna badge! We will issue these after everything is over.<ul><li>$50: Ally</li><li>$100: Supporter</li><li>$500: Backer</li><li>$1,000: Champion</li></ul> <h3>How we’ll use the money</h3>100% of proceeds will go to flood relief. The majority will go to the local Thai team in helping their efforts on the ground and the community surrounding Ping River by buying the supplies listed above. We will also donate a portion to relief efforts organized by other popup villages in Chiang Mai, which are focusing on other at-risk populations. <h3>Volunteering on the ground</h3>If you are in already in Chiang Mai:<ul><li>There are opportunities to volunteer on the ground. Join the telegram group @helpeachotherchiangmai to hear about these.</li></ul> Later this week:<ul><li>We are planning a full volunteer support day on Saturday Oct 12th. If you are in town, please join! <a href="https://edgecitylanna.sola.day/event/detail/10167" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://edgecitylanna.sola.day/event/detail/10167</a></li><li>If you know of specific businesses or individuals that have been affected, please fill in this form so we can coordinate support: <a href="https://forms.gle/mxiQG2otVU3zut5U8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/mxiQG2otVU3zut5U8</a></li><li>This will be an incredible opportunity for a meaningful impact on the ground, and will be a good way to kick off the month by supporting the local community who are hosting our village.</li></ul> Thank you all so much for being part of this effort. Although it’s stressful, we’re genuinely glad that we can be here to help people in need. It’s also a good opportunity to reflect on how these “once in a generation” disasters are becoming more and more common around the world, and witness first-hand how people will be affected in a future with a changing climate. Thank you, The Edge City Lanna team ☀️<h1> </h1>
