Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Aster in Hawassa
The roof at Aster's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Hawassa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $570, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Rooting for you, Aster. Hope you get there. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Take care, Aster. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 15 people at work. Thinking of Hawassa.
