The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Northside Lane on 4 November. My home was one of 47 damaged, and 7 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $700 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $170
• Roofing sheets and timber: $390
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending strength, Jignesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jignesh.
