Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Omolara in Epe
The roof at Omolara's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria315 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Epe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $450, 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 three or four volunteers 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Omolara. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Nottingham.
Sending love, Omolara. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
good luck. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
