Roofing help wanted: Teresa's home in Venice

Teresa, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Venice.

Venice
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Venice. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,450, 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 anyone handy 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Venice.

      Good luck, Teresa. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Duisburg donated after I showed her your page

        Thinking of you and your family, Teresa. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Manchester this morning

            I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
