Two weekends of roof repair for Bello, a widowed grandmother in Onitsha
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Onitsha?
🇳🇬 Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria846 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Onitsha. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $270, 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 a small crew who can help over a weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Hải Phòng so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Onitsha
