Help Obiageli patch the roof before winter
The roof at Obiageli's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria813 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Ikeja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Obiageli. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Hyderabad
