Ssebuliba, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Mbale.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Mbale. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.

Stay strong, Ssebuliba. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Hope it all works out, Ssebuliba. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Hope things get better soon, Ssebuliba. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Gqeberha
Thanks for sharing this, Ssebuliba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Liverpool
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Madurai donated after I showed her your page.
