Roofing help wanted: Minh's home in Detroit
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Detroit?
🇺🇸 Detroit, Michigan, United States1,038 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Detroit. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,000, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in San Jose donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Detroit.
