Two weekends of roof repair for Tizita, a widowed grandmother in Adama
Tizita, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Adama.
🇪🇹 Adama, Oromia, Ethiopia987 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Adama. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $750, 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Adama.
Thinking of you, Tizita. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
