🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria599 views
The house fire that spread across the block hit the families of Harbor Lane on 16 August. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 7 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $430
• Clean water and purification supplies: $125
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $105
• Food parcels for displaced families: $200
• Tools and labor for repairs: $140

good luck, Uche. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Messina.
Stay strong, Uche. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
hang in there, Uche. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Sukkur
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Ikeja
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 6 people at work. Greetings from Aurora.
