The house fire that spread across the block hit the Riverside district on 12 September. My home was one of 42 damaged, and 9 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 $5,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,750
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $530
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,220
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love, Eliana. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 4 people at work. Take care.
Any update on how things are going in Chandler?
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Eliana?
Thank you. If you're in Chandler I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Hope it all works out, Eliana. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Rooting for you, Eliana. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
