Roofing help wanted: Johanna's home in Essen

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Essen?

Essen
I'm a disabled veteran living in Essen. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,750, 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 a small crew 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 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Best of luck, Johanna. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
