The storm hit the families of Hillcrest Lane on 24 December. My home was one of 68 damaged, and 3 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 $5,900 goes:
• Food parcels for displaced families: $550
• Roofing sheets and timber: $3,450
• Clean water and purification supplies: $790
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,110
Thank you so much.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours.
Best of luck, Ramesh. Your post was clear and honest.
Good luck, Ramesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Rooting for you, Ramesh. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Stay strong, Ramesh. Hope you get there
