Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Chioma in Port Harcourt
Chioma, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Port Harcourt.
🇳🇬 Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria943 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Port Harcourt. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Caloocan.

Rooting for you, Chioma. Shared it with a few friends
Thinking of you, Chioma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
Wishing you the best, Chioma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
stay strong, Chioma. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Setagaya donated after I showed her your page.
