We lost everything in the fire in the market: help the Northside settlement start over

The fire in the market hit the Northside settlement on 31 March. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 5 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $700 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160 • Tools and labor for repairs: $180 • Food parcels for displaced families: $145 • Roofing sheets and timber: $215 Every share and every dollar helps.
