Roofing help wanted: Themba's home in Pretoria
The roof at Themba's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa786 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Pretoria. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $700, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you so much.

rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
