I'm a night-shift nurse living in Ottawa. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,000, 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 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 hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Santa Fe
sending good thoughts, Josiah. Hope you get there. Don't give up.
Wishing you peace, Josiah. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Cầu Giấy.
I hope things turn around soon. Love from Austin
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Praying for you, Josiah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Epe.
