The wildfire hit the Lakeview settlement on 13 December. My home was one of 21 damaged, and 11 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 $7,000 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $740
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,410
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Love from Freiburg.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lauren!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. food parcels for displaced families is the biggest at $740.
