The bushfire hit the families of Millbrook Lane on 25 August. My home was one of 33 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $7,100 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,450
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,350
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Townsville.
Thank you. If you're in Townsville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Townsville.
So sorry you're going through this, Adalynn. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless
How is Adalynn doing now?
Take care. More neighborhoods should do this. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you

Praying for you, Adalynn. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai.
