Help Kai patch the roof before the next storm
Kai, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Houston.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States517 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Houston. 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long weekend.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Jimma
