Help Surafel patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Surafel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Adama. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $420, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Love from Arusha.
Sending love, Surafel. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Adama
Keep going, Surafel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
