A licensed roofer to fix a dangerous fault at Ronke's home in Port Harcourt
Looking for a licensed roofer in Port Harcourt to donate time or work at cost.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria688 views
In May an inspector told me that my home has a burst pipe behind the wall. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $290 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $20.
The job should take about six hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Ronke. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Albany donated after I showed her your page.

Best of luck, Ronke. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope this works out for you. After 9 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Ronke. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from Yekaterinburg.

You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
