The erosion collapse hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 3 August. My home was one of 30 damaged, and 12 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 $900 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $190
• Clean water and purification supplies: $170
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125
• Roofing sheets and timber: $415
Every share and every dollar helps.

Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Epe.
Wishing you the best, Nonso. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Austin
Keep going, Nonso. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Epe.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mekelle!
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Epe
Hope things get better soon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. It's not much but it's yours
best of luck, Nonso. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
