The wildfire hit the families of Riverside Lane on 3 September. My home was one of 80 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $5,800 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $680
• Food parcels for displaced families: $550
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,550
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,020
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Riverside
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about bedding, blankets and mattresses, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Rooting for you, Dylan. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Rajshahi this morning. Greetings from Rajshahi
