Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Isaac in Joliet
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Joliet?
🇺🇸 Joliet, Illinois, United States897 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Joliet. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,950, 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 4-6 people 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon, Isaac. This could happen to any of us. Love from Saket.
Good luck, Isaac. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. I hope July is when things finally get easier. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from San Miguel de Tucumán.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
