Abuja house fire that spread across the block relief - Northside village
After the house fire that spread across the block, families in Northside village need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria2,525 views
The house fire that spread across the block hit Northside village on 13 February. My home was one of 71 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $1,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $510
• Clean water and purification supplies: $145
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $110
• Food parcels for displaced families: $210
• Tools and labor for repairs: $275
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Khadija. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Khadija.
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $510, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 17 people at work. Love from Saint Petersburg.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Khadija?
Thank you. If you're in Abuja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you and your family, Khadija. More neighborhoods should do this. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Khadija. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted.
How is Khadija doing now?
stay strong, Khadija. Shared this with my family. Love from Polokwane.
Sending strength, Khadija. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Abuja.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Abuja FCT. I'll ask around and let you know.
Praying for you, Khadija. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Ogbomosho.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace, Khadija. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Take care, Khadija. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
