The house fire that spread across the block hit Millbrook village on 3 July. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $3,500 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,450
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,050
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Scarlett
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. bedding, blankets and mattresses is the biggest at $1,000. It helps to be asked.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
How is Scarlett doing now?
Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Praying for you, Scarlett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
You're not alone. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless.
