The wildfire hit the families of Eastgate Lane on 15 July. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 9 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 $1,900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $850
• Clean water and purification supplies: $260
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $340
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rabia.
Sure. The biggest one is roofing sheets and timber, $850. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Thinking of you and your family, Rabia. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
how is Rabia doing now?
Thinking of you, Rabia. Hope you get there. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon, Rabia. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rabia?
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hope it all works out, Rabia. More neighborhoods should do this
Sending love, Rabia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Thinking of you and your family, Rabia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Sending love, Rabia. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
