The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Harbor Lane on 15 September. My home was one of 83 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at the community hall.
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 $950 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $330
• Clean water and purification supplies: $65
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $250
• Tools and labor for repairs: $105
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon, Adwoa. I hope things turn around soon.
Sending strength. More neighborhoods should do this. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Accra.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adwoa!
Roofing sheets and timber is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
stay strong, Adwoa. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours
Sending love, Adwoa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
