The wildfire hit the Lakeview district on 2 August. My home was one of 46 damaged, and 12 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 $6,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,450
• Clean water and purification supplies: $940
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,000
• Food parcels for displaced families: $770
• Tools and labor for repairs: $990
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Bucaramanga.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Seattle.
