The wildfire hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 11 June. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 10 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $8,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,600
• Clean water and purification supplies: $420
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,450
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,650
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,080
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Brielle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Bangkok but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Brielle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
more neighborhoods should do this. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Sending love, Brielle. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Best of luck, Brielle. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Bonny this morning. Greetings from Bonny
