Help Nikhil patch the roof before the monsoon
Nikhil, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Dallas.
🇺🇸 Texas, United States274 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Dallas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,550, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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 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.

Stay strong, Nikhil. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Kadıköy.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
