Two weekends of roof repair for Kevin, a single mother of three in Brampton
The roof at Kevin's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Brampton. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,350, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. 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 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
Sending good thoughts, Kevin. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 33 people at work. Thinking of Brampton.
Thinking of you, Kevin. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Novosibirsk so I could bring a meal.
