Help Daniel patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Daniel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,170 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Addis Ababa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $630, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.
