Help Roisin patch the roof before the rainy season
The roof at Roisin's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland740 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Cork. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,350, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

take care, Roisin. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Warsaw.
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
