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

I'm a home-care aide living in Wollongong. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,500, 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 two Saturdays.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Jonathan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Wollongong!
