Two weekends of roof repair for Camila, a widowed grandmother in Chicago
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Chicago?
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States1,068 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Chicago. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,500, 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 4-6 people 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Atlanta.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
