Two weekends of roof repair for Isaac, a night-shift nurse in Bonny

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

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Bonny. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $270, 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 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
