Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Henryk in Warsaw
Henryk, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Warsaw.
🇵🇱 Warsaw, Masovia, Poland564 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Warsaw. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,500, 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 two Saturdays.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
