Two weekends of roof repair for Zoey, a widowed grandmother in Bristol
Zoey, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Bristol.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom209 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Bristol. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,350, 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in London donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. God bless
Sending strength, Zoey. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Praying for you, Zoey. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
take care, Zoey. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
