The house fire that spread across the block hit the Greenfield district on 30 April. My home was one of 54 damaged, and 14 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 $750 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $240
• Clean water and purification supplies: $200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $310
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Townsville.
wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Petrópolis
Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. It's not much but it's yours
Stay strong, Tiago. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 21 people at work. God bless
Hang in there, Tiago. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
