Roofing help wanted: Elizabeth's home in Tarkwa
The roof at Elizabeth's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, Ghana611 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Tarkwa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $850, 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 one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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 good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless!
rooting for you, Elizabeth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best!
Praying for you, Elizabeth. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
