Two weekends of roof repair for Tiffany, a disabled veteran in Aurora
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Aurora?
🇺🇸 Aurora, Illinois, United States1,526 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Aurora. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,500, 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 4-6 people who can help over one long 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thanks for sharing this, Tiffany. Shared this with my family!
Sending good thoughts, Tiffany. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together!
you're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Liverpool donated after I showed her your page
Good luck, Tiffany. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Tiffany. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Aurora.
Hope it all works out, Tiffany. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
