The fire hit Sunrise village on 12 November. My home was one of 12 damaged, and 14 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 $1,350 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $165 • Food parcels for displaced families: $380 • Roofing sheets and timber: $805 I hope life is good to you. - Yana

  • Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Hope things get better soon, Yana. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Saket.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yana

          Sure. The biggest one is clean water and purification supplies, $165. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

      • looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Diego.

        • Hope things get better soon, Yana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

          • stay strong, Yana. Great idea, hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
