Help Derek patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Winston-Salem?
🇺🇸 North Carolina, United States770 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Winston-Salem. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 a small crew 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

This is what community support looks like. They didn't just offer generic advice; they provided personalized help tailored to my specific situation.
