The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Riverside Lane on 19 November. My home was one of 60 damaged, and 14 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 $2,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,050
• Clean water and purification supplies: $310
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $450
• Food parcels for displaced families: $200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $240
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from London.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Rio de Janeiro
Thank you. If you're in Rio de Janeiro I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
