Wildfire in Milan: help the Greenfield district rebuild
Neighbors in the Greenfield district are rebuilding after the wildfire; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇮🇹 Milan, Lombardy, Italy1,488 views
The wildfire hit the Greenfield district on 5 September. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 4 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 $4,300 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $900
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,450
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $950
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Manal. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Milan.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Takoradi but we're thinking of you. Love from Takoradi.
sending love, Manal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Milan.
hope things get better soon, Manal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Sending strength, Manal. Great idea, hope you get there. Greetings from Mumbai.
