Bacolod
The house fire that spread across the block hit Riverside village on 15 August. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,600 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $380 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95 • Roofing sheets and timber: $840 • Food parcels for displaced families: $285 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Kevin

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 82% funded and the plan for food parcels for displaced families is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($675 in total) the plan for bedding, blankets and mattresses is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            Take care, Kevin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
