House fire that spread across the block in Maringá: help the Orchard district rebuild
Neighbors in the Orchard district are rebuilding after the house fire that spread across the block; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Orchard district on 14 July. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 12 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 $2,750 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $410
• Tools and labor for repairs: $480
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,400
• Food parcels for displaced families: $460
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Fábio doing now?
Sending strength. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Fortaleza
is bedding, blankets and mattresses the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. bedding, blankets and mattresses is the big one at $410, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
Thinking of you and your family. Great idea, hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Islamabad this morning. Thinking of Maringá
