Rebuilding after the wildfire: the Hillcrest neighborhood needs your help
Neighbors in the Hillcrest neighborhood are rebuilding after the wildfire; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The wildfire hit the Hillcrest neighborhood on 25 July. My home was one of 87 damaged, and 13 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 $1,650 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $310
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Tools and labor for repairs: $290
• Roofing sheets and timber: $830
With deep gratitude,
Metin

Good news. Because of your gifts ($427 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Metin. Shared this with my family
Best of luck, Metin. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Osaka.
Sending strength. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
Stay strong, Metin. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Monterrey this morning.
