Genesis, a home-care aide, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Fresno.

I'm a home-care aide living in Fresno. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,700, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for 4-6 people who can help over one long 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

praying for you, Genesis. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Cardiff.
Keep going, Genesis. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Istanbul
You're not alone, Genesis. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
Good luck, Genesis. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
