Volunteers needed to fix a leaking roof for Skylar in Grand Rapids
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Grand Rapids?
🇺🇸 Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States558 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Grand Rapids. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,250, 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Good luck, Skylar. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless
Hope things get better soon, Skylar. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
