Arianna, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Southampton.

I'm a school janitor living in Southampton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,750, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 11 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mumbai
