House fire that spread across the block in São Paulo: help Millbrook village rebuild
Neighbors in Millbrook village 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 Millbrook village on 18 September. My home was one of 32 damaged, and 11 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 $2,450 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $270
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $270
• Food parcels for displaced families: $320
• Tools and labor for repairs: $440
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Maria. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Rooting for you, Maria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
wishing you the best, Maria. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope it all works out, Maria. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Good luck, Maria. Hope this works out for you. After 18 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of São Paulo.
Sending love, Maria. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
