Help Yolanda patch the roof before the autumn rains
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in San Jose?
🇺🇸 California, United States1,022 views
I'm a single mother of three living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,900, 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 anyone handy 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 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.

Good luck, Yolanda. Hope you get there. Greetings from Dwarka
Your post was clear and honest. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Jose.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of San Jose.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 40 people at work.
