Accra
The storm hit the Orchard district on 24 November. My home was one of 23 damaged, and 12 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 $750 goes: โ€ข Roofing sheets and timber: $370 โ€ข Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $180 โ€ข Food parcels for displaced families: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more

    • is roofing sheets and timber the biggest cost or is there more coming?

      • Best of luck, Priscilla. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

        • take care. More neighborhoods should do this. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

          • Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Dรผsseldorf

            • Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Kharkiv.
