Roofing help wanted: Thomas's home in Aberdeen
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Aberdeen?
🇬🇧 Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom381 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Aberdeen. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom 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 tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

take care, Thomas. Hope this works out for you. Love from Łódź
Thinking of you and your family, Thomas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Aurangabad.
Thanks for sharing this, Thomas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Sakai so I could bring a meal. God bless
Stay strong, Thomas. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Derry.
