Help Weston patch the roof before the rainy season
Weston, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Manchester.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom852 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Manchester. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,300, 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you, Weston. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Jakarta Selatan donated after I showed her your page
Good luck, Weston. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Osaka but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Love from Shubra
