Two weekends of roof repair for Wayne, a night-shift nurse in Soweto
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Soweto?
🇿🇦 Soweto, Gauteng, South Africa365 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Soweto. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $860, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mekelle.
