Roofing help wanted: Yolanda's home in Jacksonville
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Jacksonville?
🇺🇸 Jacksonville, Florida, United States506 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Jacksonville. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

keep going, Yolanda. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Islamabad.
Good luck, Yolanda. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
