The bushfire hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 22 July. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 9 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $3,650 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,450 • Clean water and purification supplies: $620 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,580 With deep gratitude, Ritu

      Sending strength, Ritu. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

        Thinking of you and your family, Ritu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Take care

        • Daniel P. Guzmán

          Hang in there, Ritu. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
