🇬🇧 Newcastle upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom299 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Newcastle upon Tyne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,050, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Lviv but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Stay strong, Rachel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Greetings from Johannesburg.
praying for you, Rachel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
