Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Sharon in Derry
The roof at Sharon's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a retired bus driver living in Derry. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,650, 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 a weekend.
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.
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Sharon. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bogor.
