The erosion collapse hit the families of Old Town Lane on 14 April. My home was one of 16 damaged, and 5 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church 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 $1,000 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $530
• Clean water and purification supplies: $60
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $125
• Food parcels for displaced families: $105
• Tools and labor for repairs: $180
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Juliet. Shared this with my family. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Take care. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
More neighborhoods should do this. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kano.
Thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Gothenburg.
