Help Doris patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Doris's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom828 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Leeds. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,500, 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 4-6 people 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 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 hope life is good to you.

sending love, Doris. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless
Good luck, Doris. Hope this works out for you
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. I hope March is when things finally get easier. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Doris. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Glasgow.
Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
You're not alone, Doris. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Cần Thơ but we're thinking of you. All the best!
Wishing you peace, Doris. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Good luck, Doris. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you, Doris. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless!
Thinking of you, Doris. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
