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

I'm a disabled veteran living in Celaya. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,350, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Diego!
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Celaya.
So sorry you're going through this, Javier. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Newport
