Roofing help wanted: Faith's home in Aberdeen
The roof at Faith's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom191 views
I'm a school janitor living in Aberdeen. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,850, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace, Faith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Toulouse.
Rooting for you, Faith. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together.

Keep going, Faith. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
