The wildfire hit the Greenfield settlement on 15 September. My home was one of 76 damaged, and 14 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $840
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,850
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $710
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
