Help Aubree patch the roof before winter
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Newport?
🇬🇧 Newport, Wales, United Kingdom309 views
I'm a school janitor living in Newport. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Aubree. Hope you get there. God bless.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Machakos so I could bring a meal.
