Help Sebastian patch the roof before the monsoon
Sebastian, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Rochester.
🇺🇸 Rochester, New York, United States571 views
I'm a school janitor living in Rochester. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,750, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.

Wishing you the best, Sebastian. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you the best, Sebastian. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Buffalo this morning. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Sebastian. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning. Love from Gazipur
