I'm a home-care aide living in Pittsburgh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,650, 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 a small crew who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Brooklyn. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Brooklyn. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Corpus Christi!
