Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Felicia in Kumasi
Felicia, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kumasi.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Kumasi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $650, 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 three weekday mornings.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Felicia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Bangkok so I could bring a meal. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Felicia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
