Two weekends of roof repair for Kehinde, a single mother of three in Lagos
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Lagos?
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria706 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 a small crew 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Hope it all works out, Kehinde. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Kehinde. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Tema.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Mumbai.
