Help Angel patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Angel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇿 Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand652 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Wellington. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,350, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Mar del Plata donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
hang in there, Angel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Wellington.
Wishing you peace, Angel. Looking forward to the next update.
