Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Kingsley in Lagos
The roof at Kingsley's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria837 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $590, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Kingsley. Hope you get there. Love from Dhaka!
Thinking of you and your family, Kingsley. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength, Kingsley. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless!
Thinking of you, Kingsley. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Lagos.
