The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 26 August. My home was one of 42 damaged, and 10 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 $450 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $195
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95
• Food parcels for displaced families: $160
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Pooja. Your post was clear and honest. God bless.
Rooting for you, Pooja. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Thiruvananthapuram!
Thank you. If you're in Thiruvananthapuram I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Thiruvananthapuram.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Thiruvananthapuram
