The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Riverside Lane on 18 March. My home was one of 66 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $800 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $160
• Tools and labor for repairs: $360
• Food parcels for displaced families: $165
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $115
Thanks for reading all this.
