House fire that spread across the block in Brampton: help the Sunrise neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Sunrise neighborhood are rebuilding after the house fire that spread across the block; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 5 June. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,950 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $430
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $580
• Food parcels for displaced families: $970
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,420
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending good thoughts, Solène. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Solène. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Chennai
Thinking of you, Solène. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Móstoles but we're thinking of you. Blessings
you're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My neighbor in Fayetteville donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
