Some of the materials were donated by the church or the public, but most were "rustled up" by collecting discarded building materials such as sheet metal cladding, formwork and planks from outside collapsed apartment buildings. The carpets and furniture inside are also mostly "recycled" items thrown away by other people.
蓋房子的建材，少數是教會和民眾贈送，大部分都是到倒塌的大樓外撿拾鐵皮、模板、木板等廢棄建材「拼湊」而成，屋內的地毯、沙發桌椅等也多是別人丟棄不要的「廢物利用」。
