Henry, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Awka.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Awka. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $750, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Henry. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Coyoacán.
