Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Beth in Leeds
Beth, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Leeds.

I'm a single mother of three living in Leeds. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,750, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Ciudad de México.
Thinking of you, Beth. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Dharan but we're thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Love from Gazipur.
