Two weekends of roof repair for Amelia, a disabled veteran in Dundee
The roof at Amelia's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Dundee. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,950, 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 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Arusha this morning. Thinking of Dundee.
Good luck, Amelia. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Dundee.

Rooting for you, Amelia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Nairobi donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nairobi.
Sending love, Amelia. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Dundee
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Dundee.
