Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Sebastian in Sydney
Sebastian, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Sydney.
🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia799 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Sydney. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room 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 anyone handy 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 work boots and a hat. 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Konya.
Rooting for you, Sebastian. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace, Sebastian. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Love from Mumbai.
hang in there, Sebastian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Accra
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Rockford but we're thinking of you.
