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

Neighbors in the Lakeview settlement are rebuilding after the house fire that spread across the block; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Lakeview settlement on 13 August. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 6 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 $1,200 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $140 • Food parcels for displaced families: $310 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $175 • Roofing sheets and timber: $575 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Devi

          Hope things get better soon, Devi. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bengaluru.
