Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Mason in Newport
Could you spare three weekday mornings to help repair a leaking roof in Newport?
🇬🇧 Newport, Wales, United Kingdom779 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Newport. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,400, 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 4-6 people who can help over three weekday mornings.
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 hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Mason. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
thinking of you, Mason. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Laval this morning.
Thanks for sharing this, Mason. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 8 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope things get better soon, Mason. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Phuket.
