The wildfire hit Riverside village on 5 July. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 4 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $6,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,150
• Clean water and purification supplies: $810
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $610
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,950
• Tools and labor for repairs: $780
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless!
Sending love, Esperanza. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
