Two weekends of roof repair for Gregory, a disabled veteran in Springfield

Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Springfield?

I'm a disabled veteran living in Springfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,150, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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. 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, Gregory. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
