I'm a night-shift nurse living in Buffalo. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,550, 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 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 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.

Best of luck, Santiago. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Sending good thoughts, Santiago. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
Hope it all works out, Santiago. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
