Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Busisiwe in Soweto
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Soweto?
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa146 views
I'm a disabled veteran 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 $1,200, 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 three or four volunteers 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 so much.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Rawalpindi.
Thanks for sharing this, Busisiwe. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Keep going, Busisiwe. I hope things turn around soon. I hope January is when things finally get easier
