Help Varun patch the roof before the rainy season
Varun, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Lowell.

I'm a home-care aide living in Lowell. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room 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 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 one long weekend.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
