Mr. Ba said that his family had built the two-room house a long time ago, but due to difficult conditions, they had not been able to rebuild it. The heavy rains of the past two days had seeped into the walls, causing the roof to collapse.
To temporarily support the roof, Mr. Ba and some people cut bamboo to support some main beams and arms to support the tiled roof, in order to maintain the original state.

It is known that Mr. Ba's family is poor, the couple has 3 children (the first child is in kindergarten, the second child has congenital heart disease, is in kindergarten, the youngest child is only 1 year old). Because one room of the house collapsed and cannot live in it due to safety, his family is temporarily moving to a neighbor's house.
Local authorities and organizations are calling on people to join hands to help Ba's family in this time of trouble.
