Erosion collapse in Ikeja: help the families of Riverside Lane rebuild

The erosion collapse hit the families of Riverside Lane on 9 September. My home was one of 79 damaged, and 12 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $1,000 goes: • Clean water and purification supplies: $80 • Roofing sheets and timber: $300 • Tools and labor for repairs: $320 • Food parcels for displaced families: $300 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Nnamdi
