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

I'm a school janitor living in Newcastle upon Tyne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,050, 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 4-6 people 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

stay strong, Eli. Your post was clear and honest. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Thane.
