Ikeja
The erosion collapse hit the Old Town settlement on 2 June. My home was one of 69 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse. 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 $650 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $70 • Roofing sheets and timber: $470 • Clean water and purification supplies: $110 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Hauwa

    Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
