Help Maverick patch the roof before the monsoon
The roof at Maverick's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇳🇿 Auckland, New Zealand610 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Manukau. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,200, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Manukau
Sending love, Maverick. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Maverick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Bronx
Keep going, Maverick. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Love from Flint
praying for you, Maverick. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Savannah donated after I showed her your page.

Rooting for you, Maverick. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Nakuru.
