Help Ruth patch the roof before the rainy season
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Entebbe?
🇺🇬 Central Region, Uganda201 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Entebbe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $620, 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 a small crew who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Ruth. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Rooting for you, Ruth. Your post was clear and honest.
