Two weekends of roof repair for Ishita, a school janitor in London
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in London?
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom548 views
I'm a school janitor living in London. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom 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 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 two Saturdays.
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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless!
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of London.
sending love, Ishita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
