Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Alma in Uppsala
The roof at Alma's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇸🇪 Uppsala, Sweden214 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Uppsala. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,000, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Uppsala.
Hope things get better soon, Alma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Epe donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending love. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Surabaya this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Alma. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Eindhoven so I could bring a meal. Blessings
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Pune.
