The fire in the settlement hit the families of Northside Lane on 17 July. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $620
• Tools and labor for repairs: $200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $310
• Clean water and purification supplies: $170
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
Praying for you, Njoroge. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Njoroge. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Yekaterinburg.
So sorry you're going through this, Njoroge. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
sending love, Njoroge. Hope you get there
sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Naivasha
Sending love, Njoroge. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Mukono but we're thinking of you.
