Help María patch the roof before winter
María, a single mother of three, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Bakersfield.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States201 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Bakersfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. All the best.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Antalya.
Best of luck. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Love from Detroit.
