Roofing help wanted: Awino's home in Likoni
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Likoni?
🇰🇪 Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya663 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Likoni. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $750, 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 a small crew 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Awino. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Montego Bay!
This could happen to any of us. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from Londrina
good luck, Awino. Hope this works out for you. Love from Atlanta.
Good luck, Awino. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Likoni
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 16 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Likoni.
