The wildfire hit the families of Greenfield Lane on 21 January. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 10 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 $5,500 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,850 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,300 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,350 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kai

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

    Amazing support system

    This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.
