The house fire that spread across the block hit the Harbor district on 17 August. My home was one of 84 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $6,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,250
• Clean water and purification supplies: $840
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $540
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,770
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Majid.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. roofing sheets and timber is the biggest at $3,250. Thanks, that means a lot.
Praying for you, Majid. Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal. God bless
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Stockholm.
rooting for you, Majid. Shared it with a few friends!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Majid?
Thank you. If you're in Leicester I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Naples.
