The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 25 June. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 7 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $770
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,600
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,580
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, María. More neighborhoods should do this.
stay strong, María. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Syracuse.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Strasbourg so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Stay strong, María. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together.
