Roofing help wanted: Lorena's home in Orlando
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Orlando?

I'm a home-care aide living in Orlando. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,250, 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 one long 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Lorena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Galway.
wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 37 people at work. Greetings from Pune.
Wishing you the best, Lorena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Orlando
