The wildfire hit the families of Lakeview Lane on 7 September. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $3,750 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $620 • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,150 • Food parcels for displaced families: $980 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Stefano?

    • Rahma Hegazy

      Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

      • Ella L. Butler

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • Zubby Kelechi Adeyemi

          Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Greetings from Johannesburg.

          • Emilio G. Cordero

            Hope things get better soon, Stefano. More neighborhoods should do this.

            • Clodagh O'Brien

              Hope you get there. After 18 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

              • Lester T. De Leon

                So sorry you're going through this, Stefano. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

                  wishing you peace, Stefano. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.

                    Stay strong, Stefano. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
