Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Abril in Raleigh
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Raleigh?

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Raleigh. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,500, 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 anyone handy 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Abril. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Raleigh.
Keep going, Abril. Your post was clear and honest.
