Lagos
I'm a retired bus driver living in Lagos. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $510, 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 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 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

              I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Hải Phòng donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Hải Phòng.
