Two weekends of roof repair for Samuel, a night-shift nurse in Lagos
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Lagos?
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,014 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 a small crew 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Samuel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Piraeus so I could bring a meal
good luck, Samuel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings

Stay strong, Samuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Salem.
