Is there a roofer who can donate a few hours in Mekelle?
Roman has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms, and can't afford a licensed roofer to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.
🇪🇹 Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia832 views
In July an inspector told me that my home has dangerous exposed wiring in two rooms. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $195 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed roofer who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $25.
The job should take about four hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a roofer and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
