Help Shawn patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Tallahassee?
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States1,168 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Tallahassee. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Shawn. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Shawn. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Stuttgart.
you're not alone, Shawn. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
stay strong. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Limoges this morning!
You're not alone, Shawn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Tallahassee.
Hope it all works out, Shawn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
So sorry you're going through this, Shawn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Tallahassee.
Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Depok
