Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Chiamaka in Ogbomosho
Chiamaka, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Ogbomosho.
🇳🇬 Oyo, Nigeria726 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Ogbomosho. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $530, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Palmira so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Chiamaka. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together!
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Leeds.
Wishing you the best, Chiamaka. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bogotá.
hope things get better soon, Chiamaka. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
