Owen, a widowed grandmother, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Leeds.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom143 views
I'm a widowed grandmother living in Leeds. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,200, 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 one long 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Owen. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Lagos so I could bring a meal. Love from Gwagwalada.
hope things get better soon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
