Help Charles patch the roof before the autumn rains
Charles, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Dayton.
🇺🇸 Dayton, Ohio, United States398 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Dayton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,350, 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 a small crew who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there, Charles. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together
