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

I'm a single mother of three living in Rome. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,550, 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 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Love from Nakhon Ratchasima.
hang in there, Greta. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Vitória da Conquista so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Moscow!
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Cầu Giấy but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Cầu Giấy.
