Two weekends of roof repair for Cooper, a retired bus driver in Auckland
The roof at Cooper's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Auckland. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Parramatta.
this could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
Take care, Cooper. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Pune this morning. Take care.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Los Angeles.
