Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Naana in Accra

Accra
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Accra. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $770, 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 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 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. I hope life is good to you.

                  So sorry you're going through this, Naana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

                    Thinking of you, Naana. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Belo Horizonte.
