Help Hugo patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Hugo's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Uppsala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,600, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
hope it all works out, Hugo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Uppsala
