Aiden, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Orlando.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Orlando. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,450, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon, Aiden. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Vancouver but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Lucknow
Sending love, Aiden. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 17 people at work. All the best.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
