The house fire that spread across the block hit the Eastgate district on 21 October. My home was one of 20 damaged, and 11 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,600
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $630
• Clean water and purification supplies: $670
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Hadley. More neighborhoods should do this. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this, Hadley. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
sending strength, Hadley. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Tamale.
is tools and labor for repairs the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. tools and labor for repairs is the big one at $1,600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Sacramento.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and labor for repairs, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
you're not alone, Hadley. Your post was clear and honest.
Keep going, Hadley. Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Praying for you, Hadley. I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Jose
Rooting for you, Hadley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
