Help Mackenzie patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Swansea?
🇬🇧 Swansea, Wales, United Kingdom1,013 views
I'm a school janitor living in Swansea. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,200, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Swansea.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Mackenzie. Hope you get there. God bless
So sorry you're going through this, Mackenzie. Your post was clear and honest.
Sending good thoughts, Mackenzie. Hope this works out for you. God bless
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Richards Bay this morning.
looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Jakarta.
Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Antalya donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Swansea.
