Roofing help wanted: Simona's home in Bari
The roof at Simona's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a home-care aide living in Bari. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,500, 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 three or four volunteers 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
praying for you, Simona. Hope you get there. Don't give up!
You're not alone, Simona. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out
Hope things get better soon, Simona. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
You're not alone, Simona. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Novosibirsk so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Eugene
