Roofing help wanted: Linda's home in Kumasi
The roof at Linda's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇬🇭 Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana639 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Kumasi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $490, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Linda. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Thanks for sharing this, Linda. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. After 25 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
