Two weekends of roof repair for Daniel, a single mother of three in Ikeja
Daniel, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Ikeja.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria763 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Ikeja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Glad we found this place.

Praying for you, Daniel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Daniel. Hope this works out for you. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
best of luck, Daniel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together.
Praying for you, Daniel. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ikeja
wishing you peace, Daniel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
