Exactly a month ago, millions of us were shocked to the core as we watched the horror of the Grenfell Tower blaze unfold.
The North Kensington block, which was home to hundreds of people, was destroyed in a mere few hours on June 14, taking precious lives with it.
So far at least 80 people are thought to have died but as the painstaking process of combing the high-rise continues, that figure is expected to rise.
Thirty-four victims have been formally identified - Westminster Coroners' Court has opened and adjourned 30 inquests so far.
Survivors have been attempting to piece their lives back together - with the availability of housing and funds hot topics of frustration.
Grenfell Tower fire latest
On Wednesday (July 13), London Mayor Sadiq Khan slammed Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council's response to the disaster, while revealing that only three households had moved into new accommodation within the first three weeks.
However, the community's effort to help those affected has been unprecedented - many emergency donation centres received so many items they couldn't accept more.
Online fundraising rapidly hit the millions; people the length and breadth of the country gave whatever they could.
Getwestlondon set up a Just Giving page, with an initial target of £5,000 to help those affected.
Within two hours, £1,000 had been raised and in seven hours £5,000. Our second target of £30,000 was reached by 3pm the following day (June 15) and by Friday June 16 it hit £25,000.
Within 30 days, getwestlondon readers raised an incredible total of £42,227.
A total of 1,636 contributors pledged anything from £1 to £700.
We know the total we raised is a drop in the ocean compared to the millions worldwide but as the saying goes "every little helps" and we know every pound will count, so thank you.
We have chosen to donate the money to charity Family Action, which has set up a grants scheme for those affected.
It has already handed out £129,940 to 85 individual households who were living in the tower at the time of the fire.
On its website, Family Action says: "100% of the money we have received from this appeal will be distributed in grants to those affected.
"We are considering all requests for grants within two working days so that we get the money to the applicants very quickly."
It adds: "As well as enabling individuals and families to access funds immediately, Family Action’s experience of grant giving shows that we need to make funds available in the longer term to meet needs that might not be apparent right now.
"Small amounts of money, given at the right time for the right things can have a significant impact on a family’s or individual’s ability to move forward."
