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

I'm a retired bus driver living in Manchester. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,850, 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 anyone handy who can help over a weekend.
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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Easton. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Easton. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 33 people at work
hope it all works out, Easton. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together
hope it all works out, Easton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Tacoma donated after I showed her your page
Hang in there, Easton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope it all works out, Easton. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. All the best.
Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
