The storm hit the Eastgate settlement on 18 February. My home was one of 15 damaged, and 10 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $490
• Clean water and purification supplies: $75
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $190
• Food parcels for displaced families: $125
• Tools and labor for repairs: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Joseph. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Nnewi so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Manukau
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending strength, Joseph. Great idea, hope you get there. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Birmingham.
Sending love, Joseph. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Tema.
