The house fire that spread across the block hit the Riverside neighborhood on 4 March. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 6 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 $2,350 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $670 • Food parcels for displaced families: $440 • Roofing sheets and timber: $930 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $310 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Wiktor?

    • Iván R. Ríos

      Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Radom
