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

I'm a home-care aide living in Addis Ababa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $490, 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 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning.
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Nagpur.
