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

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Mukono. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $430, 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.
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, John. 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. God bless.
Best of luck, John. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Barcelona.
wishing you peace, John. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
