Two weekends of roof repair for Daniel, a widowed grandmother in Kaduna
The roof at Daniel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Kaduna, Nigeria1,212 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Kaduna. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $560, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Daniel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
keep going. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Kaduna

Keep going, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best
