Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Usman in Ikeja
The roof at Usman's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria832 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Ikeja. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $370, 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Philadelphia.
