The wildfire hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 8 September. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 8 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,350
• Clean water and purification supplies: $180
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
• Food parcels for displaced families: $500
• Tools and labor for repairs: $310
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Álvaro. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
best of luck, Álvaro. Shared it with a few friends.
shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Celaya
Take care, Álvaro. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best.
good luck, Álvaro. It takes guts to ask. Well done
wishing you the best, Álvaro. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
