Roofing help wanted: David's home in Anaheim
The roof at David's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States892 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Anaheim. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,750, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings!
Hope things get better soon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Jakarta but we're thinking of you. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Ribeirão Preto so I could bring a meal
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope July is when things finally get easier
Hope things get better soon, David. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up
hang in there, David. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Paris.

Wishing you peace, David. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Austin
