The flood hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 2 December. My home was one of 27 damaged, and 7 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 $6,750 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,500
• Clean water and purification supplies: $830
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,200
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $920
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Kitakyushu
Looking forward to the next update. After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Good luck, Keiko. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Port Harcourt
Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Please keep us posted. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 15 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
