I'm a school janitor living in Reading. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,400, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a weekend.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope things get better soon, Greyson. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Piraeus this morning.
So sorry you're going through this, Greyson. Looking forward to the next update.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Greyson. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
