Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Andrea in Montego Bay
The roof at Andrea's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇯🇲 Montego Bay, Saint James, Jamaica478 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 bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $830, 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 4-6 people 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.

Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
Thinking of you, Andrea. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
so sorry you're going through this, Andrea. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
thanks for sharing this, Andrea. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Mumbai.
Wishing you peace, Andrea. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
