The wildfire hit the Orchard settlement on 18 July. My home was one of 63 damaged, and 8 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 $2,000 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $230 • Tools and labor for repairs: $330 • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,300 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140 With deep gratitude, Feyza

  • hope things get better soon, Feyza. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Take care

    • Thinking of you and your family, Feyza. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

      • Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Gujranwala.

        • Stay strong, Feyza. Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
