The wildfire hit Sunrise village on 8 August. My home was one of 21 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $1,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $580
• Clean water and purification supplies: $240
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220
• Food parcels for displaced families: $480
• Tools and labor for repairs: $380
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Selin.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. roofing sheets and timber is the biggest at $580. Ask me anything else.
Looking forward to the next update. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Selin?
Thank you. If you're in Bursa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Stay strong, Selin. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Saket.

You're not alone, Selin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
