Roofing help wanted: Brooks's home in Anaheim

Could you spare a weekend to help repair a leaking roof in Anaheim?

Anaheim
I'm a disabled veteran living in Anaheim. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 2 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,250, 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 three or four volunteers who can help over a weekend. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is work boots and a hat. 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Made a real difference

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Hope it all works out, Brooks. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

      Hang in there, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

        A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Anaheim.
