The roof at Bella's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in San Diego. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,500, 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 three or four volunteers 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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

praying for you, Bella. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
You're not alone, Bella. Hope this works out for you.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Manila.
so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 6 people at work. Thinking of San Diego.
This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Stay strong, Bella. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. All the best
