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

I'm a night-shift nurse living in Leeds. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,150, 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 a weekend.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Leeds.
Good luck, Leo. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
