Roofing help wanted: Ellen's home in Eindhoven

The roof at Ellen's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

Eindhoven
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Eindhoven. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,300, 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 anyone handy who can help over one long weekend. 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Wishing you the best, Ellen. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
