Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Colton in Ottawa
The roof at Colton's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Ottawa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,800, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
I hope life is good to you.

hope it all works out, Colton. Hope this works out for you. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Detroit.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Sending strength, Colton. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours
Sending good thoughts, Colton. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending strength, Colton. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Kinondoni so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you, Colton. Hope this works out for you. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
