Shoba and Srinivas Vadrevu were swamped with phone calls and emails from Singaporeans from all walks of life wanting to help.
They now have more than they can take by themselves and are trying to work with airlines to get them to waive excess baggage charges.
Members of the public and friends are continuing to drop off contributions at the family's apartment in Bukit Batok.
And some have even volunteered their time to help pack the items.
"I basically wanted to contribute not only in gifts, but also in effort form to those who are devastated, so when I saw in Channel NewsAsia that Shoba was doing it by herself and her husband, so I thought she would be needing help."
"I heard about it through the tv and I think she's doing a very good deed, so I just wanted to chip in my part, because I think it's a very big disaster where a lot of people are homeless and they really desperately need help." - CNA
