The fire in the settlement hit the Northside neighborhood on 24 June. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 7 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 $600 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Tools and labor for repairs: $210
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105
• Clean water and purification supplies: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Salma.
Food parcels for displaced families is $220 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
