Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Hridoy in Derry
The roof at Hridoy's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a single mother of three living in Derry. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,200, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck, Hridoy. This could happen to any of us. After 30 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
