Roofing help wanted: Dineo's home in Mthatha
The roof at Dineo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇿🇦 Mthatha, Eastern Cape, South Africa108 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Mthatha. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.
