Help Efua patch the roof before winter
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Ho?
🇬🇭 Ho, Volta, GhanaPosted Aug 24, 202684 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Ho. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 anyone handy who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

thanks for sharing this, Efua. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Negombo!
So sorry you're going through this, Efua. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Lahore.
