House fire that spread across the block in Taguig: help the Hillcrest neighborhood rebuild

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 6 January. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 4 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 $1,100 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $135 • Clean water and purification supplies: $125 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175 • Roofing sheets and timber: $665 Thanks for being kind about this. - Joyce
