The house fire that spread across the block hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 3 September. My home was one of 28 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $5,200 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,400 • Clean water and purification supplies: $520 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,400 • Food parcels for displaced families: $880 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Harper

  1. Update from Sheffield: the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 57% funded and I made the first payment toward clean water and purification supplies.

            Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sheffield.
