Help Riley patch the roof before winter
Riley, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Auckland.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand166 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Auckland. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,250, 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 4-6 people who can help over a 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Riley. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Auckland.
Rooting for you, Riley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Lviv but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Auckland.
so sorry you're going through this, Riley. Shared this with my family. Take care.
