Two weekends of roof repair for Kevin, a retired bus driver in Houston

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

I'm a retired bus driver living in Houston. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,900, 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 a weekend. 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.

    hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Houston!
