Struggling a little and need some help.

Hi Steemians,

I hope you are all well and having a fantastic Thursday.

So I have not been posting for the last few days as I get three days off from work and have to cram in four days of stuff I haven't done into those three days. In that three days I have been doing things like, getting the vegetables in order, buying firewood ready for winter, shopping on a budget and then paying the bills.
And then we came across a little problem, which we thought was little and turns out its much much bigger.
This lovely house that I have bought here is wonderful and we had a small leak coming in from the roof when it rains, looking up the the ceiling there is a huge damp patch.

Bulgarians in their hey day did not use fiberglass insulation in the loft and instead used earth between the beams of the ceiling, so as you can imagine there is a lot of weight above my head.
So we asked a few people how much it would be to repair the roof, and all three roofers who went up said the lats are rotten and all need replacing, but they can save the tiles.
So what I thought was going to be a couple of hundred Leva, now turns out to be 1400 leva. (Around £640-$700.) This work is urgent because in the winter when its cold I need the house dry or it can create many problems eg damp, mould, a huge hole in the ceiling.
Which then means we have even more money to pay out.

I need your help

I have seen the steemit community and what the community can do, I am not proud to do this at all, but getting that much money in a month would take away all my monthly income and leave me with nothing to eat and not even able to pay my bills. So I would be working for the roof and August will be a bad month until I get paid in September. When the winter hits and that water comes into the house it will freeze inside of the roof affected and I have no heating in there, which means the cold will spread through the house and it will be a sorry winter.

I will end up looking like this (you would not want to see me looking like this.)

How can I help?

I need your upvotes and resteems guys to spread the word even if its just a little it will help right now I have taken no money out of my steem account towards anything I see my posts as an investement into the steem platform and help to grow the community.
But this time I am out of options and come to you guys cap in hand.

I will update the post later with the picture of the problem in the hope that you can understand and help me out I would really appreciate it.

Guys help me stay warm this winter.

Once I have hit my target anything remaining if there is enough I will give back to you guys equally with the remaining SPD. I am not doing this for any profit but merely to help me out in this awkward time.

Can i have invite link to Discord thank you

😂 that will be great 👍🏼

???????

I completely understand your worries.

Last year and for well over a year before the home my partner and I shared had a leaking roof straight in to our living room. This problem cost over £1000 to repair (the year before) and it kept coming back, each time seemingly a little worse. The work that was done previously was disowned by the contractor so we were left to repair it a second time. As this second repair was going on we had moved to a rented property elsewhere and are still trying to sell it now that it's fixed. It took well over a year in total, 2 repairs, many inside fixes and only now is it fixed. And the whole time it would leak, like yourself, was through the bad weather. For us this was incessant raining (it is Scotland).

I have seemed to ramble on a bit there but I feel completely feel your worry and pain. If only I could help more. I recently donated my last £15 but I will definitely upvote and resteem this to try and get your home ready for winter.

I am deeply grateful for your comment you have my upvote on it also. I used to live not far from scotland and know what it can be like here temps get down to -21 sometimes though they can get to -40. I really appreciate your help.

It is my absolute pleasure. I wish I could give more. But I feel confident that this community will help. This community is AWESOME!! They are kind, generous, giving and above all compassionate. You're in good hands.

Very nice 👍

All your Steemian friends are here for you

Hi @crazybgadventure, I am just a n00b here, and don't have much, but we are also pursuing a simple life, much like yourself, and I would hope a good community would support each other in times like these. So here I am placing my hope and trust that Steemit could be as good as I think it could be.
Please post pics of the finished project, it would be nice to see that all this support made someone's life a little bit more tolerable. Good luck and take care!

Thank you @olayar I will be sure to keep up updated on the progress.
