Roofing help wanted: Ezra's home in Newcastle upon Tyne
The roof at Ezra's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Newcastle upon Tyne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Ezra. This could happen to any of us!
wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

So sorry you're going through this, Ezra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Newcastle upon Tyne

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

Sending love, Ezra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
