Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Olivia in Jacksonville
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Jacksonville?
🇺🇸 Jacksonville, Florida, United States1,477 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Jacksonville. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,250, 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 three or four volunteers 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 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.
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Olivia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Jacksonville.
Wishing you peace, Olivia. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Johannesburg donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
