The house fire that spread across the block hit the Eastgate district on 21 October. My home was one of 20 damaged, and 11 families are still in temporary shelter at the community 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. Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters. Where the $2,900 goes: • Tools and labor for repairs: $1,600 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $630 • Clean water and purification supplies: $670 Thanks for reading all this. - Hadley

        • Obiageli Comfort FalanaQuestion

          is tools and labor for repairs the biggest cost or is there more coming?

          • Hadley F. MurrayOwnerAnswer

            It's all in the list in the story. tools and labor for repairs is the big one at $1,600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.

        • Wunmi Peace Onyeama
