Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Lemma in Jimma
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jimma?

I'm a disabled veteran living in Jimma. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $260, 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Lemma. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Mobile
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you. Love from Quezon City.
Hope it all works out, Lemma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Jimma.
