Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Emily in Auckland
Emily, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Auckland.
🇳🇿 Auckland, New Zealand151 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in Auckland. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,150, 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 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 work boots and a hat. 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.

good luck, Emily. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Onitsha.
wishing you the best, Emily. I hope things turn around soon.
sending good thoughts, Emily. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Auckland.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
