Roofing help wanted: Hailu's home in Bahir Dar
The roof at Hailu's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇹 Bahir Dar, Amhara, Ethiopia679 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Bahir Dar. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $310, 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 a small crew 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
