The drought hit the Greenfield neighborhood on 16 July. My home was one of 55 damaged, and 5 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.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $900 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $520
• Clean water and purification supplies: $50
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $120
• Food parcels for displaced families: $90
• Tools and labor for repairs: $120

take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Sheffield.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Kebede?
Thank you. If you're in Jimma I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Keep going, Kebede. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Kolkata donated after I showed her your page. Blessings!
