The wildfire hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 30 July. My home was one of 51 damaged, and 3 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 $6,900 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,950
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Scarlett. Great idea, hope you get there.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Thinking of Toledo
Sending love. Shared this with my family. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Stay strong, Scarlett. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
thinking of you, Scarlett. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Scarlett. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Bari.
