Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Kobina in Madina

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Madina?

Madina
I'm a school janitor living in Madina. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $660, 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 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. Thank you for reading my story.

          stay strong, Kobina. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dundee.
