I'm a disabled veteran living in Jimma. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $360, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Surafel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Jimma.
