The wildfire hit the Riverside district on 26 May. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $5,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $560
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $370
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,000
• Tools and labor for repairs: $520

Good luck, Julián. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Hang in there, Julián. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
