The house fire that spread across the block hit the Old Town neighborhood on 15 August. My home was one of 41 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $1,150 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $420
• Clean water and purification supplies: $115
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $260
• Tools and labor for repairs: $155
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

keep going, Uche. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Wiesbaden so I could bring a meal
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
