Help Janina patch the roof before winter
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Wrocław?
🇵🇱 Lower Silesia, Poland458 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Wrocław. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,650, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Janina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
Take care, Janina. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Saint Petersburg so I could bring a meal!
Sending good thoughts, Janina. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Wishing you the best, Janina. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
You're not alone, Janina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Wrocław.
