Help Jana patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Jana's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Dresden. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,950, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
