Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Okechukwu in Ikeja
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Ikeja?
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria99 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Ikeja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $900, 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 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.

Sending good thoughts, Okechukwu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Setagaya.
You're not alone, Okechukwu. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours.
You're not alone, Okechukwu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Kyiv.

Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
