Roofing help wanted: Eleni's home in Adama
Eleni, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Adama.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia847 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Adama. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, 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 a small crew who can help over a 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Jerusalem donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Jerusalem.
hope this works out for you. After 23 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Rawalpindi.
good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Adama.
hang in there, Eleni. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
