Two weekends of roof repair for Trevor, a school janitor in Montego Bay
Trevor, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Montego Bay.
🇯🇲 Montego Bay, Saint James, Jamaica416 views
I'm a school janitor living in Montego Bay. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $650, 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 a weekend.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
you're not alone, Trevor. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
sending strength, Trevor. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hang in there, Trevor. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
Stay strong, Trevor. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
