We lost everything in the wildfire: help the Greenfield district start over

After the wildfire, families in the Greenfield district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The wildfire hit the Greenfield district on 10 October. My home was one of 39 damaged, and 6 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 $4,950 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $1,300 • Clean water and purification supplies: $440 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $570 • Food parcels for displaced families: $1,050 • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,590 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Delphine

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($895 in total) I made the first payment toward roofing sheets and timber. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
