Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Claire in Newcastle
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Newcastle?
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia800 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Newcastle. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Newcastle!
sending strength, Claire. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Newcastle!
Take care, Claire. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Hang in there, Claire. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Newcastle.
