The wildfire hit Hillcrest village on 30 March. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 3 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $5,550 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,100
• Clean water and purification supplies: $610
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $580
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,260
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Sebastián. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Sent it to 9 people at work.
