Help Nneka patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Port Harcourt?
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria1,092 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Port Harcourt. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, 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 anyone handy who can help over a 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you and your family, Nneka. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Nneka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
