The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 11 July. My home was one of 86 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $650 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $175
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $155

keep going, Anjali. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Yokohama donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Hyderabad so I could bring a meal. All the best
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bakersfield
more neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 36 people at work. Thinking of Kolkata.
wishing you the best, Anjali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Good luck, Anjali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Surabaya
Stay strong, Anjali. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Kolkata.
praying for you, Anjali. Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Kolkata.
