I'm a retired bus driver living in Yonkers. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.

stay strong. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Saket.
Thinking of you, David. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
