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

I'm a retired bus driver living in Mukono. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $460, 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 three or four volunteers 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.

thinking of you, Brian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Mukono.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Mukono.
Wishing you the best, Brian. Shared this with my family. Love from San Antonio
