The house fire that spread across the block hit Harbor village on 4 September. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 8 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 $1,100 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $155 • Roofing sheets and timber: $560 • Food parcels for displaced families: $165 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $220 With deep gratitude, Lata

    Take care, Lata. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

    • Víctor K. Gómez

      so sorry you're going through this, Lata. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 3 people at work. Love from Toronto

          Hope it all works out, Lata. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

          • Regina Aline Santana

            So sorry you're going through this, Lata. Hope you get there. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

              Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Jaipur.
