The wildfire hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 23 September. My home was one of 78 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $1,350 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $220
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $185
• Clean water and purification supplies: $330
• Food parcels for displaced families: $615
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Rosa
Quick update: $237 raised so far (18%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Rosa
Good news. Because of your gifts ($349 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hang in there, Rosa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Good luck, Rosa. Shared this with my family
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jakarta.
