The fire in the settlement hit Riverside village on 24 May. My home was one of 61 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 $1,100 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $300
• Roofing sheets and timber: $480
• Tools and labor for repairs: $320
With deep gratitude,
Muthoni

Thanks for sharing this, Muthoni. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!
best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Amsterdam donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Zapopan.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Coimbatore
wishing you peace, Muthoni. Shared it with a few friends.
Praying for you, Muthoni. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
