Rebuilding after the house fire that spread across the block: Lakeview village needs your help

The house fire that spread across the block hit Lakeview village on 29 August. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $1,850 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $570 • Food parcels for displaced families: $670 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $610 Thanks for being kind about this. - Weston
