World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 call for humanitarian industries including the United Nations and NGOs to bolder promote the use of cash transfers in responding to disasters. This book documents experiences and collects personal accounts on disasters,COVID-19 and cash transfers from disaster survivors in Indonesia whose lives intersect with other survivors and humanitarian responders, ranging from local activists to NGOs' workers. The survivors are often labelled as 'project beneficiaries'. Cash assistance and disaster payments are temporary income for the affected community. It is no silver bullets despite their rich potential to reduce vulnerability and suffering. One of the promises of such assistance is that it can help both women and children survive and rebuild their lives after a crisis, be it from a natural catastrophe or man-made hazards. The question is how such assistance is understood in a fuller context of a survivor's complex life?To its critics, humanitarian cash assistance is like 'a drop of salt in the ocean' in thatit is not enough to make a difference to disaster-affected people's lives.Nevertheless, the question is how a relatively small-size and temporarily distributed cash assistance within a short time window can significantly impact the beneficiaries' life at a particular time and places ruined by disasters? Survivors and beneficiaries are not just numbers. They are humans with stories worth listening to. This book shows that to what extent cash assistance can be of meaningful, they must be understood in a fuller context of people's lives, stories, including their wade dreams that go beyond the cold and dry quantitative evaluation measures that are often chasing the numbers with a certain percentage of Yes and No in agreeing or disagreeing about how good and helpful support is to the life of the crisis-affected people.
