The wildfire hit Harbor village on 16 March. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 7 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 $5,050 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,550 • Clean water and purification supplies: $530 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $540 • Food parcels for displaced families: $680 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,750 With deep gratitude, Josiane

  • Thinking of you and your family, Josiane. More neighborhoods should do this. All the best.

    • Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

          It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $1,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Dnipro.

        • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

          • hope it all works out. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

            • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Nashik this morning.
