Help Fernanda patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Winston-Salem?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Winston-Salem. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,450, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Fernanda. Your post was clear and honest. After 26 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Nashik so I could bring a meal
Hope things get better soon, Fernanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in San Diego donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you, Fernanda. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Wishing you peace, Fernanda. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Good luck, Fernanda. Hope you get there
hope it all works out, Fernanda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you the best, Fernanda. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Fernanda. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
