Two weekends of roof repair for Nakato, a disabled veteran in Mombasa
The roof at Nakato's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Kenya1,683 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Mombasa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $470, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Nakato. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Mombasa.
Wishing you the best, Nakato. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
hope you get there. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mombasa

sending good thoughts, Nakato. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
