The house fire that spread across the block hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 25 August. My home was one of 78 damaged, and 9 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $370
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,420
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out, Ana. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Seattle.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
