Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Eliana in Birmingham
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Birmingham?
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom812 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Birmingham. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,750, 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 anyone handy 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

so sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Birmingham.
Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
sending good thoughts, Eliana. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
