Help Victor patch the roof before the autumn rains
Victor, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Ikeja.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria724 views
I'm a school janitor living in Ikeja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $580, 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 a 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

stay strong. 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.
Stay strong, Victor. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Thanks for sharing this, Victor. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Aurora.
You're not alone, Victor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
