Help Devi patch the roof before the rainy season
The roof at Devi's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa205 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Sandton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $980, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over two Saturdays.
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.

Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
