Two weekends of roof repair for Bola, a retired bus driver in Port Harcourt
The roof at Bola's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria479 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Port Harcourt. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $680, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
