The fire in the settlement hit the Sunrise neighborhood on 23 August. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 6 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 $1,400 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $600 • Clean water and purification supplies: $165 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $120 • Food parcels for displaced families: $165 • Tools and labor for repairs: $350 Thank you so much. - Bikash

  • This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. Thinking of Dharan

    • Sending strength, Bikash. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Boulogne-Billancourt donated after I showed her your page. Take care
