Help Thandi patch the roof before winter
Thandi, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Sandton.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Sandton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $720, 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 a small crew who can help over a 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

this could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Sandton
your post was clear and honest. Love from Sandton.
Thinking of you, Thandi. Hope you get there.
thinking of you and your family. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
thanks for sharing this, Thandi. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
