Roofing help wanted: Odhiambo's home in Jinja
The roof at Odhiambo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Jinja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 a small crew who can help over a weekend.
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.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Odhiambo. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
this could happen to any of us. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Wishing you the best, Odhiambo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from San Francisco.
Sending good thoughts, Odhiambo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
