Two weekends of roof repair for Roman, a school janitor in Manchester
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Manchester?
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom695 views
I'm a school janitor living in Manchester. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,950, 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 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

thinking of you and your family, Roman. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Roman. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Manchester.
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Dallas.
praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
