Flood in Ikeja: help Northside village rebuild
Neighbors in Northside village are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,419 views
The flood hit Northside village on 14 July. My home was one of 36 damaged, and 6 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 $1,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $620
• Clean water and purification supplies: $110
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $195
• Food parcels for displaced families: $155
• Tools and labor for repairs: $220
With deep gratitude,
Kelechi

how is Kelechi doing now?
Thinking of you, Kelechi. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kelechi?
Thank you. If you're in Ikeja I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Stay strong, Kelechi. Looking forward to the next update. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Love from Seattle.
