I'm a school janitor living in Manchester. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,350, 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 a weekend.
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.
Glad we found this place.

Stay strong, Pamela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Addis Ababa.
Best of luck, Pamela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from San Diego.
Keep going, Pamela. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Dasmariñas donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone, Pamela. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Montgomery so I could bring a meal.
