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

I'm a retired bus driver living in Badagry. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Femi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Verona
Thinking of you and your family, Femi. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
