House fire that spread across the block in Campinas: help the families of Old Town Lane rebuild

The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Old Town Lane on 16 May. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 9 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 $2,200 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,300 • Food parcels for displaced families: $400 • Tools and labor for repairs: $250 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $250 With deep gratitude, Eliane
