The fire in the settlement hit Millbrook village on 28 July. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 4 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 $1,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $310
• Clean water and purification supplies: $160
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $230
• Food parcels for displaced families: $180
• Tools and labor for repairs: $270
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thanks for sharing this, Auma. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
take care, Auma. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Take care, Auma. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Kilkenny.
Hang in there, Auma. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Anaheim donated after I showed her your page.
Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Stay strong, Auma. Hope you get there. Thinking of Embakasi.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Embakasi.
praying for you, Auma. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted
