I'm a widowed grandmother living in Ann Arbor. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 22 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Madelyn. Hope you get there.

Wishing you peace, Madelyn. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Surakarta
Sending strength, Madelyn. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Laval this morning. God bless
