The house fire that spread across the block hit Lakeview village on 28 August. My home was one of 58 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $920
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,780
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Natalie. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update
Keep going, Natalie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Timișoara.
Hang in there, Natalie. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Good luck, Natalie. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. God bless.
You're not alone, Natalie. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of London.
