The house fire that spread across the block hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 28 August. My home was one of 54 damaged, and 5 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $130
• Roofing sheets and timber: $680
• Food parcels for displaced families: $290
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Scranton.
Sending good thoughts, Suresh. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Jakarta Barat this morning. Greetings from Jakarta Barat.

Wishing you peace, Suresh. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal
Sending good thoughts, Suresh. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

Wishing you peace, Suresh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Nashik!
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Hialeah
