Two weekends of roof repair for Krzysztof, a retired bus driver in Gliwice
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Gliwice?
🇵🇱 Gliwice, Silesia, Poland1,129 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Gliwice. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,050, 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 one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kolkata

thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up.
wishing you peace, Krzysztof. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Jessore.

So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Södertälje so I could bring a meal
Sending strength, Krzysztof. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
