Help Ronke patch the roof before the autumn rains

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

Ikeja
I'm a disabled veteran living in Ikeja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $290, 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 anyone handy 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless

    • Gaurav T. Soni

      Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kharkiv.
