Rebuilding after the erosion collapse: the Northside district needs your help
Neighbors in the Northside district are rebuilding after the erosion collapse; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria2,497 views
The erosion collapse hit the Northside district on 7 September. My home was one of 77 damaged, and 4 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.
We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates.
Where the $900 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $280
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $160
• Tools and labor for repairs: $320
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rotimi
Food parcels for displaced families is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Love from Stockholm.
Sending good thoughts, Rotimi. Shared it with a few friends.
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 28 people at work!
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Saint-Denis.
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Praying for you, Rotimi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Badagry.
This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Porto Alegre.
Wishing you the best, Rotimi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
