Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Usman in Epe
Usman, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Epe.
🇳🇬 Epe, Lagos, Nigeria470 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Epe. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $610, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Take care, Usman. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Epe.
Best of luck, Usman. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Chiang Mai.

Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Multan.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Usman. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Sending strength, Usman. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Seville donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
