The wildfire hit the Greenfield settlement on 19 September. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,050
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $600
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Paloma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Kobe.
Thanks for sharing this, Paloma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Newcastle but we're thinking of you.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Jakarta Selatan
Stay strong, Paloma. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My neighbor in Coyoacán donated after I showed her your page.
