The wildfire hit the families of Riverside Lane on 30 May. My home was one of 53 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $9,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $4,850
• Clean water and purification supplies: $810
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,150
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,040
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Angela
We're at 10% thanks to 23 of you. we've started the first stage. More news soon.
Update from Toronto: I made the first payment toward clean water and purification supplies. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
