Roofing help wanted: William's home in Tarkwa
The roof at William's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, Ghana239 views
I'm a school janitor living in Tarkwa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $480, 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 three or four volunteers 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck, William. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Thinking of you, William. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Thinking of you, William. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Gwagwalada
Keep going, William. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up. Greetings from Semarang
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Thinking of Tarkwa
