Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Tunde in Nnewi
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Nnewi?
🇳🇬 Nnewi, Anambra, Nigeria992 views
I'm a school janitor living in Nnewi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $350, 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 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 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Gazipur donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Gazipur.
You're not alone, Tunde. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Los Angeles.
thinking of you, Tunde. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 38 people at work.
