Wildfire in Latina: help Marketplace village rebuild
After the wildfire, families in Marketplace village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy2,705 views
The wildfire hit Marketplace village on 21 August. My home was one of 60 damaged, and 6 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 $2,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,300
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $700
• Clean water and purification supplies: $300
With deep gratitude,
Concetta

Praying for you, Concetta. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Naivasha!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Concetta?
hang in there, Concetta. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Daegu.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Ciudad de México!

Thinking of you and your family, Concetta. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't give up!
Sending strength. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
