Help Chloe patch the roof before the autumn rains
The roof at Chloe's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a night-shift nurse living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,100, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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, Chloe. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
rooting for you, Chloe. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Keep going, Chloe. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Sending good thoughts, Chloe. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Mangaluru donated after I showed her your page
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Monterrey
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 24 people at work. Take care.
Stay strong, Chloe. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Praying for you, Chloe. Hope this works out for you. Blessings
Keep going, Chloe. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Lahore.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Jose.
Thanks for sharing this, Chloe. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Bowling Green but we're thinking of you
