Help Paul patch the roof before the autumn rains

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

Asaba
I'm a retired bus driver living in Asaba. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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. I hope life is good to you.

    thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
