I'm a night-shift nurse living in Bristol. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,550, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Bella. I hope things turn around soon.
You're not alone, Bella. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bristol.
Good luck, Bella. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Blessings.

A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Flint so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Bristol.
Thinking of you and your family, Bella. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Savar this morning. All the best.
You're not alone, Bella. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Aberdeen but we're thinking of you.
sending love, Bella. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 19 people at work.
Praying for you, Bella. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Detroit donated after I showed her your page. God bless
hang in there, Bella. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
You're not alone, Bella. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Rooting for you, Bella. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
