Help Gabriel patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Bakersfield?
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States335 views
I'm a school janitor living in Bakersfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,600, 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 4-6 people who can help over two Saturdays.
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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Gabriel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
