The flood hit Harbor village on 23 March. My home was one of 34 damaged, and 4 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
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 $6,250 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $2,300
• Clean water and purification supplies: $600
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $1,100
• Food parcels for displaced families: $1,100
• Tools and labor for repairs: $1,150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

what's already covered and what's the $6,250 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. roofing sheets and timber comes first ($2,300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Sending good thoughts, Maureen. Hope this works out for you
Thanks for sharing this, Maureen. Great idea, hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cork!
Thank you. If you're in Cork I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Keep going, Maureen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Lagos.

Praying for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from Springfield!
Keep going, Maureen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Augusta
thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done!
Take care, Maureen. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Port Harcourt so I could bring a meal. God bless
praying for you, Maureen. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Soweto.
Best of luck, Maureen. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Leeds.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Munster. I'll ask around and let you know.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Cebu City.
thinking of you, Maureen. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Udaipur but we're thinking of you. Love from Udaipur
