I'm a home-care aide living in Kisumu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $540, 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck, Muthoni. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Hope it all works out, Muthoni. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Biratnagar so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dallas.
So sorry you're going through this, Muthoni. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Muthoni. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kisumu
