The erosion collapse hit Lakeview village on 29 March. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 8 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 $1,050 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $610
• Food parcels for displaced families: $190
• Clean water and purification supplies: $100
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Nonso. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Spanish Town this morning. Love from Spanish Town.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nonso.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. roofing sheets and timber is the biggest at $610. Appreciate you taking the time.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Lagos.
Take care, Nonso. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
