Help Imani patch the roof before the monsoon

The roof at Imani's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Kasarani
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kasarani. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, 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 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • praying for you, Imani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Caloocan so I could bring a meal.

      Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

      • I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Imani. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

          • Good luck, Imani. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
