Roofing help wanted: Collins's home in Nairobi
Collins, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Nairobi.
馃嚢馃嚜 Nairobi, Kenya378 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Nairobi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, 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 4-6 people 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Nairobi
Hope you get there. Greetings from Coyoac谩n.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!
