The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Northside Lane on 1 February. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 2 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 $7,750 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $2,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $730
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,950
• Food parcels for displaced families: $770
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Seamus. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Galway.

Thanks for sharing this, Seamus. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Galway.
Good luck, Seamus. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
