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

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Thessaloniki. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,450, 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 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Bakersfield
Sending good thoughts. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Los Angeles!
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Peoria so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Thessaloniki.
