Help David patch the roof before the next storm

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in San Francisco?

I'm a night-shift nurse living in San Francisco. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,900, 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 a weekend. 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 hope life is good to you.

                        Praying for you, David. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of San Francisco.
