The house fire that spread across the block hit Marketplace village on 17 July. My home was one of 31 damaged, and 7 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 $1,450 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $730
• Clean water and purification supplies: $135
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
• Food parcels for displaced families: $200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $225
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Rotimi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Gatineau.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Busan so I could bring a meal
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Fort Worth
