The wildfire hit the families of Riverside Lane on 11 July. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
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 $6,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,350
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $830
• Food parcels for displaced families: $630
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,590
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Océane. Gave what I could, wish it was more
More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Marseille.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Bari but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I hope October is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Océane. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
