The fire in the settlement hit the Greenfield settlement on 22 December. My home was one of 35 damaged, and 7 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 $600 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $280 • Tools and labor for repairs: $180 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  2. Quick update: $46 raised so far (8%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($9 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
