Help Maria patch the roof before the monsoon
Could you spare one long weekend to help repair a leaking roof in San Antonio?
๐บ๐ธ Texas, United States1,551 views
I'm a night-shift nurse living in San Antonio. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,350, 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 a small crew 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 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Maria. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
Take care, Maria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Madrid.
