Help Alexei patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Alexei's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇷🇺 Saint Petersburg, Saint Petersburg, Russia926 views
I'm a school janitor living in Saint Petersburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,700, 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 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 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.

Good luck, Alexei. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mansoura this morning. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Alexei. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together.
Wishing you peace, Alexei. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
