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

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Milan. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,200, 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 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Milan
Praying for you, Giulia. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thinking of you, Giulia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Giulia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Milan.
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Montego Bay but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
