Help Ikenna patch the roof before the autumn rains
Ikenna, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Gwagwalada.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria846 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Gwagwalada. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $810, 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 4-6 people 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
You're not alone, Ikenna. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
