House fire that spread across the block in Iloilo City: help the Eastgate district rebuild

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Eastgate district on 21 February. My home was one of 12 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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 $900 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $165 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105 • Roofing sheets and timber: $360 • Food parcels for displaced families: $270 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Kathleen
