Help Delroy patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Delroy's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Mandeville. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,650, 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 4-6 people 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength, Delroy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mandeville
thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 13 people at work. Take care.
