The flash flood hit the Lakeview settlement on 10 June. My home was one of 19 damaged, and 2 families are still in temporary shelter at the sports club.
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 $8,500 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,550
• Clean water and purification supplies: $830
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,300
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,570
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Leonardo. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Ikeja so I could bring a meal. Take care.

What's already covered and what's the $8,500 for?
It's all in the list in the story. roofing sheets and timber is the big one at $3,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Epe.
