Help Ruby patch the roof before the monsoon

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Toronto?

Toronto
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Toronto. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

    Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Toulouse.
