The house fire that spread across the block hit the Harbor district on 12 June. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 13 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $2,950 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,300 • Clean water and purification supplies: $1,000 • Food parcels for displaced families: $650 Thanks for reading all this.

  • more neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Ribeirão Preto.

    • is there anything that isn't money that would help Una?

      • Una N. BellOwnerAnswer

                • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Una.

                  • Una N. BellOwnerAnswer

                    Bedding, blankets and mattresses is $1,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
