Help Guo patch the roof before winter
Guo, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Pittsburgh.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States115 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Pittsburgh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,050, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

rooting for you, Guo. Shared it with a few friends. After 10 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
