The wildfire hit the Marketplace settlement on 28 November. My home was one of 89 damaged, and 4 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,950
• Clean water and purification supplies: $340
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $960
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,550

Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
what's already covered and what's the $6,000 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. roofing sheets and timber is the biggest at $1,950. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Jabalpur donated after I showed her your page
