I'm a home-care aide living in Dar es Salaam. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $620, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 34 people at work. Love from Bang Khen.
hope it all works out, Margaret. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Faisalabad.
Take care, Margaret. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
