I'm a single mother of three living in Birmingham. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,150, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you the best, Kai. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page.
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Birmingham.
