Roofing help wanted: Lorena's home in Warren
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Warren?
🇺🇸 Michigan, United States789 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Warren. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,300, 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 4-6 people 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Lorena. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Brandon but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Lorena. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Lorena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 14 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best

Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
