We lost everything in the wildfire: help the Sunrise settlement start over

Neighbors in the Sunrise settlement are rebuilding after the wildfire; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The wildfire hit the Sunrise settlement on 25 August. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 5 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 $4,400 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $2,900 • Clean water and purification supplies: $630 • Tools and labor for repairs: $870 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
