The wildfire hit the families of Riverside Lane on 2 February. My home was one of 52 damaged, and 13 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,400
• Tools and labor for repairs: $780
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $990
• Clean water and purification supplies: $430
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Marième. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Marième!
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $4,400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Sending strength, Marième. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
So sorry you're going through this, Marième. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending strength, Marième. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt
Thanks for sharing this, Marième. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Multan.
