Roofing help wanted: Juliet's home in Badagry
Juliet, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Badagry.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,138 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Badagry. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $320, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best
Sending strength, Juliet. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Pune.
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from San Diego!
