I'm a night-shift nurse living in Bristol. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people 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 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.

Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Take care, Elena. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Turin so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Elena. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

Good luck, Elena. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
so sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Jeddah so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Take care. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Comilla but we're thinking of you.
Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Embakasi this morning. God bless.
Stay strong, Elena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Dhaka.
