Two weekends of roof repair for Zhen, a night-shift nurse in Newcastle
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Newcastle?
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia829 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Newcastle. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,000, 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 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 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Zhen. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Los Angeles!
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Edinburgh.
