Help Seyi patch the roof before the next storm

Epe
I'm a single mother of three living in Epe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $760, 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 4-6 people 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 work boots and a hat. 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.

      hope things get better soon, Seyi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too

        Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 3 people at work.

          Keep going, Seyi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Epe.
