The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 14 May. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 11 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $4,000 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $740 • Clean water and purification supplies: $590 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,750 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $920 Glad we found this place.

    You're not alone, Victoria. More neighborhoods should do this. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of London.
