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

I'm a widowed grandmother living in London. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, 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 anyone handy 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of London
Best of luck, Jameson. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Quezon City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Mohammedia
Thinking of you, Jameson. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
sending strength, Jameson. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Hang in there, Jameson. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 22 people at work. Take care!
