The house fire that spread across the block hit Eastgate village on 26 June. My home was one of 80 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $1,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $880
• Tools and labor for repairs: $180
• Clean water and purification supplies: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Davao City
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lovely
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $880, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Stay strong, Lovely. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
