The erosion collapse hit Millbrook village on 2 August. My home was one of 59 damaged, and 7 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 $800 goes: • Food parcels for displaced families: $210 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $120 • Tools and labor for repairs: $360 • Clean water and purification supplies: $110 I hope life is good to you. - Ebuka

Updates from Ebuka

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($350 in total) I made the first payment toward food parcels for displaced families. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Badagry: the plan for clean water and purification supplies is now scheduled. We're at 14% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. 43% there. we've started the first stage. Thank you. - Ebuka
