I'm a retired bus driver living in St. Petersburg. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,250, 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 a small crew 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 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Móstoles.
Sending love, Sadie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Wishing you peace, Sadie. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
