The house fire that spread across the block hit the Lakeview neighborhood on 3 September. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $6,800 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,450
• Clean water and purification supplies: $660
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,050
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,640
Every share and every dollar helps.

this could happen to any of us. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Paarl.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
you're not alone, Evelyn. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
great idea, hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending love. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Breda.
