The wildfire hit Sunrise village on 27 August. My home was one of 56 damaged, and 3 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $350
• Food parcels for displaced families: $420
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $280
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Hakan?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about tools and labor for repairs, advice is welcome too. Thanks, that means a lot.
sending good thoughts, Hakan. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't give up. All the best
Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
How is Hakan doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Hakan. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope it all works out, Hakan. Shared this with my family. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending good thoughts, Hakan. More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Aurangabad this morning.
You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Thủ Đức so I could bring a meal.
