Two weekends of roof repair for Usman, a widowed grandmother in Nnewi
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Nnewi?
🇳🇬 Anambra, Nigeria227 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Nnewi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $510, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Nnewi
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from New Orleans.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Phoenix.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Anambra. I'll ask around and let you know
