Help Leonardo patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Newcastle upon Tyne?
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom488 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Newcastle upon Tyne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength, Leonardo. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Best of luck, Leonardo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
sending strength, Leonardo. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
Thinking of you, Leonardo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
