Roofing help wanted: Christian's home in Ottawa

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Ottawa?

Ottawa
I'm a school janitor living in Ottawa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,350, 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 4-6 people 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. Thank you for reading my story.

            Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Joliet so I could bring a meal. Blessings
