Help Oliwia patch the roof before the rainy season
Oliwia, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Gdańsk.
🇵🇱 Pomerania, Poland250 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Gdańsk. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

so sorry you're going through this, Oliwia. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Dehiwala but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Oliwia. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Quezon City
Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Gdańsk
best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up
Good luck, Oliwia. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Take care, Oliwia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best, Oliwia. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Oliwia. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Gondar
So sorry you're going through this, Oliwia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Thinking of you, Oliwia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Gdańsk.
