The flood hit the families of Northside Lane on 5 May. My home was one of 85 damaged, and 8 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $7,600 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $910
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $930
• Food parcels for displaced families: $690
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,420
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Ruth. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Awka this morning. Thinking of Lethbridge.
Good luck, Ruth. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Lethbridge
Great idea, hope you get there. Sent it to 3 people at work.
hope things get better soon, Ruth. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Ruth. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
Hope it all works out. More neighborhoods should do this. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Sending strength, Ruth. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!
Hang in there, Ruth. Great idea, hope you get there. Blessings.
