Roofing help wanted: Tesfaye's home in Hawassa
Tesfaye, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Hawassa.
🇪🇹 Hawassa, Sidama, Ethiopia393 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Hawassa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
You're not alone, Tesfaye. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Hawassa
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Casablanca.
Take care, Tesfaye. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Makassar but we're thinking of you.
