Two weekends of roof repair for Vivian, a retired bus driver in Ogbomosho
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Ogbomosho?
🇳🇬 Ogbomosho, Oyo, Nigeria700 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Ogbomosho. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $880, 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 a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 18 people at work. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Vivian. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Ogbomosho.
Sending good thoughts, Vivian. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Lahore
Sending good thoughts, Vivian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Onitsha this morning. All the best.
