The house fire that spread across the block hit the Riverside district on 30 August. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 10 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 $8,400 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,400
• Clean water and purification supplies: $850
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,700
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,400
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 28 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Victoria.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Keep going, Nevaeh. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Sending strength, Nevaeh. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
