Roofing help wanted: Amparo's home in Dallas
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Dallas?
🇺🇸 Dallas, Texas, United States201 views
I'm a single mother of three living in Dallas. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,750, 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 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.
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Amparo. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dallas.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Saket.
Sending love, Amparo. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending love, Amparo. Hope you get there. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
