Two weekends of roof repair for Yetunde, a widowed grandmother in Benin City
Yetunde, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Benin City.
🇳🇬 Benin City, Edo, Nigeria967 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Benin City. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $340, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Yetunde. I hope things turn around soon
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Good luck, Yetunde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Salem
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
