Help Delroy patch the roof before winter
The roof at Delroy's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇯🇲 Half-Way Tree, Saint Andrew, Jamaica1,420 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Half-Way Tree. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Tijuana.
hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Sending love, Delroy. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 15 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Jessore.
Hope things get better soon, Delroy. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Corpus Christi.
