Two weekends of roof repair for Clara, a single mother of three in Buffalo
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Buffalo?
🇺🇸 Buffalo, New York, United States127 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Buffalo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen 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 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 a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

Wishing you the best, Clara. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope things get better soon, Clara. Hope this works out for you.
Hope things get better soon, Clara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Buffalo
Best of luck, Clara. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
