The house fire that spread across the block hit the Riverside district on 29 August. My home was one of 21 damaged, and 13 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $640
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,900
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,710
I hope life is good to you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Alexa?
Thank you. If you're in London I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending love. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Madurai.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alexa.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Best of luck, Alexa. Hope you get there.
