The wildfire hit the Millbrook district on 23 August. My home was one of 73 damaged, and 8 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $4,900 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $940
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,760

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
You're not alone, Arjun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
