Douglas, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Miami.
🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, United States1,556 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Miami. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,800, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
