The house fire that spread across the block hit the Marketplace district on 10 April. My home was one of 90 damaged, and 14 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 $2,800 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,200 • Clean water and purification supplies: $320 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $290 • Food parcels for displaced families: $370 • Tools and labor for repairs: $620 Glad we found this place.

    More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Moscow.

    • Agnes Lindqvist

      Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

      • Mitu Ayesha AkterQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Svetlana.

        • Svetlana PetrenkoOwnerAnswer

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($1,200) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

      • Eliana R. Barnett

        Sending strength, Svetlana. Looking forward to the next update.
