The wildfire hit the Marketplace district on 29 August. My home was one of 63 damaged, and 13 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 $6,350 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,450
• Clean water and purification supplies: $340
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $500
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $960
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thinking of you, Davide. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Niterói donated after I showed her your page. Love from Niterói.
Sending love, Davide. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Dharan.
Wishing you peace, Davide. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
hang in there. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We're a small family in Ciudad de México but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Davide. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
