The wildfire hit the Harbor neighborhood on 26 February. My home was one of 82 damaged, and 5 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 $5,900 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,050 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $920 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,600 • Tools and labor for repairs: $2,330 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Eva

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. clean water and purification supplies comes first ($1,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
