The wildfire hit the Old Town district on 9 March. My home was one of 17 damaged, and 2 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $390
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $430
• Clean water and purification supplies: $310
• Roofing sheets and timber: $1,220

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Mexicali.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Mukono.
Hope it all works out. More neighborhoods should do this. I'll check back for the next update.
Best of luck, Araceli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Mexicali.
Sending good thoughts, Araceli. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Newcastle upon Tyne this morning.
