Wildfire in Lyon: help the Northside neighborhood rebuild
Neighbors in the Northside neighborhood are rebuilding after the wildfire; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.

The wildfire hit the Northside neighborhood on 25 August. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 10 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 $7,100 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $610
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,750
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $990
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,750
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Guillaume doing now?
Wishing you the best, Guillaume. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Praying for you, Guillaume. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Lyon!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Guillaume?
Thank you. If you're in Lyon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. I'll ask around and let you know
thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Parramatta
Stay strong, Guillaume. Hope you get there.
wishing you the best, Guillaume. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Rooting for you, Guillaume. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
