The fire in the settlement hit the Harbor settlement on 7 July. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 4 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 $950 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $105 • Tools and labor for repairs: $220 • Roofing sheets and timber: $560 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $65 Thank you for reading my story.

      It's all in the list in the story. clean water and purification supplies is the big one at $105, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
