Roofing help wanted: Mykola's home in Kyiv
Mykola, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kyiv.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine469 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Kyiv. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,100, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Mykola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Mykola. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Wudil this morning
Sending strength, Mykola. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Best of luck, Mykola. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.
