The wildfire hit the Orchard neighborhood on 29 April. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $5,350 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,850 • Tools and labor for repairs: $720 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,200 • Clean water and purification supplies: $580 Glad we found this place. - Jade

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jade!

      • Jade Colette BonnetOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($2,850) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
