I'm a home-care aide living in Birmingham. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,300, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Grace. Hope this works out for you. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Take care
Sending strength, Grace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
