Stockholm house fire that spread across the block relief - the Old Town neighborhood
Neighbors in the Old Town neighborhood are rebuilding after the house fire that spread across the block; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Old Town neighborhood on 28 July. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 8 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,700
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $550
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there, Ulla. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thanks for sharing this, Ulla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Moscow.
Rooting for you, Ulla. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings.
Sending love, Ulla. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Riverside
