Neighbors team up to fix woman’s roof in Hazel Dell

Hazel Dell — Helen Workman has lived in her home since 1969, and in recent years, the roof has been a bit leaky. It got to a point where she was putting up to seven buckets out to catch water from all the leaks during rain storms. Workman couldn’t afford to have the roof fixed, but some of her neighbors stepped up. Nicole and Adam Turner raised money for a new roof, and Ron Rieman and his son work on the repairs. “People I’ve never even met were at my house fixing the roof,” Workman said, fighting back tears. “Now people stop by and say, ‘What a nice roof.’ ” Workman said she is overwhelmed by the kindness of her neighbors.
