The house fire that spread across the block hit Old Town village on 20 January. My home was one of 75 damaged, and 13 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 $1,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $460
• Clean water and purification supplies: $185
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $135
• Food parcels for displaced families: $135
• Tools and labor for repairs: $235
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Myra. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Vadodara
You're not alone, Myra. I hope things turn around soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you the best, Myra. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Karachi.
Praying for you, Myra. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page
