The house fire that spread across the block hit Lakeview village on 29 July. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $6,300 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $570
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,050
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,680

You're not alone, Annabelle. Hope this works out for you. Take care
Rooting for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I hope October is when things finally get easier
Shared it with a few friends. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Kathmandu this morning. Take care.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Saskatoon this morning. Love from Saskatoon
