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

I'm a single mother of three living in Zaria. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Alexandria so I could bring a meal.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Córdoba.
