Roofing help wanted: Lauren's home in Portland
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Portland?
🇺🇸 Oregon, United States523 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Portland. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom 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 tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over a weekend.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Portland

Thinking of you and your family, Lauren. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Lauren. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
