Rebuilding after the wildfire: the Hillcrest district needs your help
After the wildfire, families in the Hillcrest district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇺🇸 Duluth, Minnesota, United States1,808 views
The wildfire hit the Hillcrest district on 26 June. My home was one of 35 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 $6,100 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $610
• Clean water and purification supplies: $960
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,600
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,930
Glad we found this place.
