Roofing help wanted: Emeka's home in Lagos
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Lagos?
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria643 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings!
Stay strong, Emeka. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Emeka. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Emeka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
