I'm a disabled veteran living in San Francisco. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,800, 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 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Keep going, Angela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of San Francisco.
wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Badagry
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kathmandu.
So sorry you're going through this, Angela. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours!
Thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Angela. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Dehiwala donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Angela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best
Rooting for you, Angela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
