Help Aarti patch the roof before the next storm

Aarti, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Columbia.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Columbia. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,000, 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 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Stay strong, Aarti. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      Thanks for sharing this, Aarti. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Joliet

          Sending strength, Aarti. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Kharkiv
