The roof at Ana's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Springfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,650, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending good thoughts, Ana. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Daegu donated after I showed her your page.
Take care, Ana. Hope this works out for you. Take care.
Rooting for you, Ana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
