The wildfire hit the Orchard neighborhood on 4 April. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 9 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 $7,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $830
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $730
• Food parcels for displaced families: $730
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,160
Thank you so much.

Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Kampala so I could bring a meal
Best of luck, Anthony. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 32 people at work. Love from Gazipur.
So sorry you're going through this, Anthony. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
Thinking of you, Anthony. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong, Anthony. Shared this with my family.

take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Asaba donated after I showed her your page
Praying for you, Anthony. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thanks for sharing this, Anthony. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Barcelona.
