Two weekends of roof repair for Ella, a home-care aide in Southampton
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Southampton?
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom899 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Southampton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,850, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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 to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.

so sorry you're going through this, Ella. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
keep going. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care, Ella. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hang in there, Ella. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Eindhoven donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
hope you get there. Thinking of Southampton.
