Two weekends of roof repair for Elijah, a retired bus driver in Sydney

The roof at Elijah's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Sydney. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,550, 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 three or four volunteers 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. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
