Frank, a night-shift nurse, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Pittsburgh.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Pittsburgh. 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 corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew 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.
Glad we found this place.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Kyiv
