The house fire that spread across the block hit Greenfield village on 31 August. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 12 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,150
• Tools and labor for repairs: $740
• Clean water and purification supplies: $870
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,140

keep going, Piper. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
shared it with a few friends. Thinking of London.
Keep going, Piper. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 17 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Leeds
Thinking of you and your family, Piper. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of London.
Wishing you peace, Piper. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you. More neighborhoods should do this. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
