I'm a school janitor living in Jacksonville. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Eugene. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Eugene. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone, Eugene. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
