The wildfire hit the Greenfield settlement on 1 December. My home was one of 78 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $5,400 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,050
• Food parcels for displaced families: $980
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,370
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Gaurav. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
any update on how things are going in Sherbrooke?
great idea, hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Huntsville donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Hang in there. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Sherbrooke.
Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Paris.
