House fire that spread across the block in Coventry: help the Riverside settlement rebuild
After the house fire that spread across the block, families in the Riverside settlement need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇬🇧 Coventry, England, United Kingdom3,605 views
The house fire that spread across the block hit the Riverside settlement on 2 February. My home was one of 45 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $4,500 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $570
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,800
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,130
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Ezra. Great idea, hope you get there. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Keep going, Ezra. This could happen to any of us. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Ezra. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Wishing you the best. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Coventry.
Thinking of you, Ezra. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Madina.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Medina this morning.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Bilbao.
