The wildfire hit the Marketplace district on 23 August. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $3,200 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $780
• Clean water and purification supplies: $350
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,200
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $870
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Girona.
praying for you, Leonardo. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
So sorry you're going through this, Leonardo. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Philadelphia this morning.
