Two weekends of roof repair for Samuel, a widowed grandmother in Epe
The roof at Samuel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria777 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Epe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $870, 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck, Samuel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 11 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Madrid.
