Wildfire in Turin: help the Hillcrest settlement rebuild
After the wildfire, families in the Hillcrest settlement need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇮🇹 Turin, Piedmont, Italy2,454 views
The wildfire hit the Hillcrest settlement on 1 September. My home was one of 70 damaged, and 9 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $5,150 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $560
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,200
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,850
• Food parcels for displaced families: $540
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Buenos Aires.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Giovanni
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. bedding, blankets and mattresses comes first ($560) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
You're not alone, Giovanni. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
good luck, Giovanni. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bangkok.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from La Plata.
Sending love, Giovanni. This could happen to any of us.
hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
