The house fire that spread across the block hit the Hillcrest settlement on 10 November. My home was one of 44 damaged, and 6 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $2,000 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $880 • Clean water and purification supplies: $270 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $310 • Food parcels for displaced families: $340 • Tools and labor for repairs: $200 Thanks for reading all this. - André

      So sorry you're going through this, André. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Duque de Caxias but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.

          Praying for you, André. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
