Help Caroline patch the roof before the autumn rains
Caroline, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Entebbe.

I'm a school janitor living in Entebbe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $640, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you the best, Caroline. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
