The bushfire hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 23 August. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 4 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 $5,550 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $590
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,350
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,310
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Riverside
Best of luck, Alyssa. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
Hang in there, Alyssa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Rome but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Ballarat
Keep going, Alyssa. Hope you get there. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Miami.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Adama.
