Two weekends of roof repair for Addison, a widowed grandmother in Sydney
Addison, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Sydney.
🇨🇦 Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada1,370 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Sydney. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,000, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
praying for you, Addison. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
