Help Roisin patch the roof before the next storm
The roof at Roisin's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Kilkenny. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, 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 anyone handy 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!
Praying for you, Roisin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 36 people at work!
stay strong, Roisin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Shubra.
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Kilkenny!
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
