Two weekends of roof repair for Andrew, a retired bus driver in Aurora
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Aurora?
🇺🇸 Aurora, Illinois, United States792 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Aurora. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, 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 a 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

rooting for you, Andrew. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Newport but we're thinking of you
