Two weekends of roof repair for Dumisani, a night-shift nurse in Pietermaritzburg
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Pietermaritzburg?

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Pietermaritzburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,200, 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 anyone handy 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

So sorry you're going through this, Dumisani. Shared this with my family.
hang in there, Dumisani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
