Scarlett, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Toronto.

I'm a home-care aide living in Toronto. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,050, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Jodhpur but we're thinking of you. All the best.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
Thinking of you, Scarlett. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care.

Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Toronto.
Hang in there, Scarlett. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
