House fire that spread across the block in Rotterdam: help the Greenfield neighborhood rebuild

Neighbors in the Greenfield neighborhood are rebuilding after the house fire that spread across the block; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

Rotterdam
The house fire that spread across the block hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 13 August. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $5,800 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $940 • Roofing sheets and timber: $3,700 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,160 Thanks for being kind about this. - Wilma
