Two weekends of roof repair for Sarah, a single mother of three in Nairobi
Sarah, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Nairobi.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya424 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Nairobi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $630, 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 a 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you and your family, Sarah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Nairobi
Keep going, Sarah. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope things get better soon, Sarah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Negombo but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
