The wildfire hit the Millbrook settlement on 28 April. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $5,900 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,650
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,750
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Abril. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Los Angeles.
what's already covered and what's the $5,900 for?
Tools and labor for repairs is $1,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Stay strong, Abril. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best!
projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from Khulna.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Sending love, Abril. Shared it with a few friends.
You're not alone, Abril. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Good luck, Abril. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
