Roofing help wanted: Dustin's home in Peoria
The roof at Dustin's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇺🇸 Peoria, Illinois, United States416 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Peoria. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,000, 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 so much.

Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Dustin. Hope you get there.
Wishing you peace, Dustin. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Petrópolis donated after I showed her your page.
sending good thoughts, Dustin. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from San Diego.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Dhaka.
Hope it all works out, Dustin. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Caruaru this morning. Blessings.

Thanks for sharing this, Dustin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Çankaya so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Paris.
