The house fire that spread across the block hit the Old Town neighborhood on 7 June. My home was one of 66 damaged, and 9 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 $6,750 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $880
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $580
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,940
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

good luck, Todd. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Charlotte.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Love from London
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 22 people at work. Thinking of Manchester.
Good luck, Todd. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up. Take care.
