Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Ebo in Accra
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Accra?
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana455 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Accra. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room 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 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 one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

good luck, Ebo. Shared it with a few friends
thinking of you and your family, Ebo. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 30 people at work. Love from Tel Aviv.
Thinking of you and your family, Ebo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family, Ebo. Shared this with my family. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Hope it all works out, Ebo. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Wishing you the best, Ebo. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Accra
Hang in there. Hope you get there. After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Toulon.

Take care, Ebo. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Accra!

Stay strong, Ebo. Your post was clear and honest.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Envigado
Wishing you the best, Ebo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Victoria donated after I showed her your page.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from São Paulo.
Wishing you the best, Ebo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
