Roofing help wanted: Emilia's home in Ottawa
The roof at Emilia's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Ottawa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Emilia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.
