The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 17 May. My home was one of 37 damaged, and 3 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 $4,550 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,850
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $1,000
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Danielle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Best of luck, Danielle. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
thinking of you, Danielle. Shared it with a few friends.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Newcastle upon Tyne this morning.
