Roofing help wanted: Brian's home in Kinondoni
The roof at Brian's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Kinondoni. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $350, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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.
Glad we found this place.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Good luck, Brian. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Aurangabad donated after I showed her your page
Rooting for you, Brian. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
