I’ve been in my house for almost 11 years, it is my home, my safety and security and I love it, but it needs a new roof. The leaks have been repaired as much as possible but it has come to the point where roofers are telling me it’s beyond repair. The only option now is to replace the whole thing. For at least 7 years now I’ve been trying to come up with the £5,000 to get it done and the danger now is that water could start running into the electrics, which would be catastrophic.

So far I’ve been unsuccessful in trying to come up with the funds, due to being diagnosed with a chronic illness, and being unable to work since then. I’ve been on a low income with no spare funds for even basic repairs (broken windows, leaky taps and radiators, etc) for all of that time.

I am now asking for contributions towards the new roof and I would be very grateful for any donation, no matter how small. Thank you all in advance.
