Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Carolina in Corpus Christi
Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Corpus Christi?
🇺🇸 Texas, United States350 views
I'm a school janitor living in Corpus Christi. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,450, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over a weekend.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
