The fire in the settlement hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 4 November. My home was one of 24 damaged, and 12 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 $1,000 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $620 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $270 • Clean water and purification supplies: $110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Anyango

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about roofing sheets and timber, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Sending love, Anyango. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

    • Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together. All the best.

      • Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Kikuyu.
