Likoni
The fire in the settlement hit the families of Old Town Lane on 7 September. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $1,050 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $320 • Food parcels for displaced families: $230 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125 • Roofing sheets and timber: $375 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Sending love, Awino. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings

        Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to San Francisco so I could bring a meal. Take care.

            Wishing you the best, Awino. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
