I'm a single mother of three living in Dallas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,450, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Take care, Gerald. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Soweto so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
Take care, Gerald. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier
