The house fire that spread across the block hit Northside village on 20 January. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 14 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $330
• Roofing sheets and timber: $380
• Food parcels for displaced families: $210
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up. Greetings from Rajshahi.

Hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Fayetteville

Best of luck, Theresa. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Bhopal donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Mardan this morning. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Theresa. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Theresa. More neighborhoods should do this. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kumasi
