The house fire that spread across the block hit the Northside neighborhood on 1 October. My home was one of 45 damaged, and 6 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $3,450 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,850 • Food parcels for displaced families: $680 • Clean water and purification supplies: $920 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Danielle

    Sending strength. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
