Two weekends of roof repair for Courtney, a school janitor in Southampton
The roof at Courtney's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a school janitor living in Southampton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, 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 one long 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Courtney. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
