The house fire that spread across the block hit the Lakeview district on 28 August. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 5 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 $1,200 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $570
• Clean water and purification supplies: $70
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $145
• Food parcels for displaced families: $130
• Tools and labor for repairs: $285
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alok
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($570) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Thinking of you and your family, Alok. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Siliguri.
keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Dnipro.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Siliguri
Thank you. If you're in Siliguri I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Sending love, Alok. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Essen but we're thinking of you
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 25 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
praying for you, Alok. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mumbai.
rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. After 16 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Take care, Alok. Great idea, hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
