Help Folake patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Lagos?
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria865 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $550, 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 one long weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. After 6 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Dar es Salaam
Best of luck, Folake. Shared this with my family!
shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
