Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Sipho F in Richards Bay
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Richards Bay?
🇿🇦 Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa1,026 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Richards Bay. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $960, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over one long 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you and your family, Sipho F. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Richards Bay
Hope you get there. Greetings from Gulu.

Hope it all works out, Sipho F. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Taguig.
keep going, Sipho F. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Mbale so I could bring a meal.
hope it all works out, Sipho F. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
