The flood hit the Millbrook district on 28 June. My home was one of 74 damaged, and 13 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. We buy supplies locally and in bulk, so the money goes further. Receipts and photos will be posted in updates. Where the $500 goes: • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $130 • Clean water and purification supplies: $110 • Food parcels for displaced families: $260 Thank you so much.

Updates from Efe

  1. Update from Abuja: we've started the first stage. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 1% thanks to 1 of you. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($5 in total) the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    it takes guts to ask. Well done. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

        sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Knoxville so I could bring a meal.
