Roofing help wanted: Daniel's home in Bakersfield
The roof at Daniel's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.

I'm a widowed grandmother living in Bakersfield. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $6,250, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers 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 sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending strength, Daniel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Bakersfield.
you're not alone, Daniel. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending good thoughts, Daniel. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal.
