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

I'm a home-care aide living in Southampton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,650, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope things get better soon, Jack. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Keep going, Jack. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Patna.
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Jack. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
