The house fire that spread across the block hit Millbrook village on 5 December. My home was one of 78 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 $900 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $125
• Roofing sheets and timber: $690
• Clean water and purification supplies: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Okechukwu?
Thank you. If you're in Kano I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Okechukwu.
good luck, Okechukwu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Rooting for you, Okechukwu. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Kano
Thinking of you, Okechukwu. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Hope it all works out, Okechukwu. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless.
