Two weekends of roof repair for Naomi, a single mother of three in Melbourne
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Melbourne?
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia1,074 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Melbourne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,850, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy 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 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.

Thanks for sharing this, Naomi. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Karachi
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Jakarta Barat but we're thinking of you. All the best.
