The erosion collapse hit the Greenfield district on 14 August. My home was one of 60 damaged, and 4 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $850 goes:
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105
• Tools and labor for repairs: $310
• Roofing sheets and timber: $435
Thank you so much.

so sorry you're going through this, Garba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Garba
Bedding, blankets and mattresses is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Keep going, Garba. Great idea, hope you get there. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Garba?
