In a heartwarming update, Hong Kong’s government announced today that donations for the Wang Fuk Court Support Fund have surged to HK$2.8 billion (US$36 million) 💸. The fund was launched after a devastating fire ripped through the Tai Po housing complex on November 26, displacing hundreds of residents.
🔥 "This generosity reflects Hong Kong’s spirit of unity," a government spokesperson said. The funds will help rebuild homes and provide HK$100,000 per household in living subsidies – a significant increase from earlier plans.
🏗️ Reconstruction efforts are set to begin early next year, with temporary housing solutions already underway. The November fire, one of the city’s worst in recent years, drew global attention and sparked this massive community-driven response 🌍❤️.
