The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Orchard Lane on 12 August. My home was one of 51 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 $800 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $310
• Tools and labor for repairs: $310
• Clean water and purification supplies: $100
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $80
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Pune.

Keep going, Sabina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Sabina. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
