Bellevue
The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 16 August. My home was one of 47 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $6,650 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,200 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $570 • Clean water and purification supplies: $820 • Food parcels for displaced families: $2,060 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Hannah

          Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mysuru.
