Two weekends of roof repair for Bereket, a retired bus driver in Mekelle
The roof at Bereket's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇪🇹 Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia599 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Mekelle. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $650, 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 one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.

Sending love, Bereket. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
