The wildfire hit the Millbrook district on 15 February. My home was one of 65 damaged, and 13 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 $6,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,700
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,550
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $600
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Stuttgart.
How is Shuai doing now?
gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 37 people at work. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Shuai. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning
