Help Greyson patch the roof before winter
Greyson, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Sydney.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia841 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Sydney. 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 three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Greyson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 33 people at work
keep going, Greyson. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Anaheim.
Wishing you the best, Greyson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
