Ihor, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Kharkiv.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Kharkiv. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $610, 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 4-6 people 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Ihor. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Nha Trang.
Best of luck, Ihor. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck, Ihor. Your post was clear and honest.
Good luck, Ihor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you, Ihor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Thinking of Kharkiv.
