House fire that spread across the block in Onitsha: help the Eastgate settlement rebuild

The house fire that spread across the block hit the Eastgate settlement on 29 October. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym. 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 $1,300 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $200 • Roofing sheets and timber: $730 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160 • Tools and labor for repairs: $210 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
