The wildfire hit the Harbor district on 29 May. My home was one of 26 damaged, and 7 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $7,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $360
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $630
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,700
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,910
Every share and every dollar helps.

Keep going, Dennis. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Surakarta
Thanks for sharing this, Dennis. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Dar es Salaam so I could bring a meal. Love from Laredo.
Hope it all works out, Dennis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
stay strong, Dennis. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Jessore.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of London.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Pokhara.
Rooting for you, Dennis. This could happen to any of us
