Help Teresa patch the roof before the next storm
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Parramatta?
🇦🇺 New South Wales, Australia540 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Parramatta. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,000, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Teresa. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Narayanganj but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Narayanganj.
hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Love from Jaipur.
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
