Roofing help wanted: Lanre's home in Abuja

Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Abuja?

Abuja
I'm a home-care aide living in Abuja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $630, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            So sorry you're going through this. 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. Greetings from Bakersfield.
