Help Kelvin patch the roof before winter
The roof at Kelvin's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Kumasi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $930, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thank you so much.

you're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Take care, Kelvin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Kelvin. This could happen to any of us.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
