Two weekends of roof repair for Julian, a retired bus driver in Warren
The roof at Julian's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Warren. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. 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.

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Warren
Hope it all works out, Julian. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Thanks for sharing this, Julian. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Warren.
