Roofing help wanted: Oleg's home in Kharkiv
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Kharkiv?
🇺🇦 Kharkiv, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine1,111 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Kharkiv. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $390, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Oleg. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care!
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Oleg. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. God bless.
