The storm hit the families of Sunrise Lane on 2 April. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 11 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 $7,700 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,950
• Clean water and purification supplies: $600
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,250
• Food parcels for displaced families: $990
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,910
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you and your family, Florence. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Warri so I could bring a meal. Love from Shubra.

Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($2,950) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
