The house fire that spread across the block hit the Greenfield settlement on 20 August. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $650 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $260 • Food parcels for displaced families: $195 • Clean water and purification supplies: $70 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125 Thank you so much.

        Great idea, hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

                It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Dwarka.
