Help Theodore patch the roof before the next storm
Theodore, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Dayton.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Dayton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen 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 roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thanks for sharing this, Theodore. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
