The flood hit the Riverside district on 29 October. My home was one of 90 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.
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:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Roofing sheets and timber: $530
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Fatima. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Port Harcourt
Stay strong, Fatima. Looking forward to the next update.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 22 people at work. All the best.
Hang in there, Fatima. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Port Harcourt.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Port Harcourt!
You're not alone, Fatima. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
