The wildfire hit Greenfield village on 30 June. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 8 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 $2,150 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $260
• Tools and labor for repairs: $480
• Food parcels for displaced families: $340
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,070
Thanks for reading all this.

shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal.
hang in there, Fernando. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Rooting for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. All the best.
You're not alone, Fernando. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hang in there, Fernando. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Coatzacoalcos.
Thanks for sharing this, Fernando. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
so sorry you're going through this, Fernando. Hope this works out for you!
