Roofing help wanted: Thomas's home in Québec
Thomas, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Québec.
🇨🇦 Québec, Quebec, Canada972 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Québec. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long weekend.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Wishing you the best, Thomas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
this could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Thomas. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Glendale!
Best of luck, Thomas. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending strength, Thomas. Hope you get there. Thinking of Québec
Take care, Thomas. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Sending love. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
you're not alone, Thomas. Shared this with my family.
Praying for you, Thomas. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Feira de Santana.
