Two weekends of roof repair for Salim, a disabled veteran in Kisumu
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Kisumu?
🇰🇪 Kisumu, Kisumu, Kenya1,022 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Kisumu. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Salim. I hope things turn around soon
Stay strong, Salim. This could happen to any of us. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
