Help Hui patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Pittsburgh?
🇺🇸 Pennsylvania, United States1,637 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Pittsburgh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen 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 anyone handy 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Hui. Hope this works out for you. Love from Sylhet.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Best of luck, Hui. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Take care, Hui. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Khulna
Hope things get better soon, Hui. Hope you get there. Thinking of Pittsburgh.
