Roofing help wanted: Temitope's home in Port Harcourt
Temitope, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Port Harcourt.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria457 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Port Harcourt. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 anyone handy 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Accra.

hang in there. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kano so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Toronto.
