The church was flooded during the storm.

The group has already begun raising funds to refurbish it.

The group had set their sights on Christmas and are collecting toys for the church to distribute.

So, when we came here and we met the people and we knew exactly what they needed we felt like we could actually do something."

"It's so exciting that we have people who can take that burden off the parents to look for whatever they can do to make Christmas such a spectacular time in the lives of our children," Reverend Toyin Akinbola said.
