The wildfire hit Greenfield village on 27 August. My home was one of 44 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club. 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 $4,200 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,150 • Clean water and purification supplies: $430 • Tools and labor for repairs: $510 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,110 I hope life is good to you. - Raúl

Updates from Raúl

  1. Quick update: $2,426 raised so far (58%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $3,177 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,131 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

            • Onyango Brian SimiyuQuestion

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Raúl.

              • Raúl FuentesOwnerAnswer

                Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($2,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

            • Sarah Louise Paul
