The fire in the settlement hit the families of Orchard Lane on 17 October. My home was one of 21 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $650 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $95
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Food parcels for displaced families: $105
• Roofing sheets and timber: $325
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Padam. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Sending love, Padam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Sending love, Padam. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Love from Gqeberha.
So sorry you're going through this, Padam. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Dharan.
Rooting for you, Padam. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't give up. God bless.
