The erosion collapse hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 13 March. My home was one of 82 damaged, and 13 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 $1,150 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $330
• Food parcels for displaced families: $220
• Roofing sheets and timber: $600
With deep gratitude,
Uche

thinking of you, Uche. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Uche.
Tools and labor for repairs is $330 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
