The landslide hit the Riverside settlement on 22 June. My home was one of 81 damaged, and 13 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 $450 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $130
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $130
• Tools and labor for repairs: $190
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Likoni.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about clean water and purification supplies, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Badagry.
hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Warsaw.
Wishing you the best, Collins. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Take care, Collins. Shared this with my family
Sending love, Collins. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
hang in there, Collins. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
