Roofing help wanted: Brenda's home in Bronx
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Bronx?
🇺🇸 Bronx, New York, United States911 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Bronx. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, 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 a small crew 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Rooting for you, Brenda. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Stay strong, Brenda. Hope you get there.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Mysuru!
