Roofing help wanted: Olumide's home in Abuja
Olumide, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Abuja.
🇳🇬 Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,219 views
I'm a widowed grandmother 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 $550, 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Olumide. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Jacksonville.
Take care, Olumide. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Olumide. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Take care
shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Madrid.
