Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Claire in Columbus

Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Columbus?

Columbus
I'm a disabled veteran living in Columbus. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,250, 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 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. I hope life is good to you.

          Hang in there, Claire. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Columbus.

                Good luck, Claire. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
