Zoe, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Surrey.

I'm a home-care aide living in Surrey. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,350, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Zoe. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Surrey
Praying for you, Zoe. Your post was clear and honest.
sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bacolod.
good luck. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
