Roofing help wanted: Eli's home in Hialeah
Eli, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Hialeah.

I'm a disabled veteran living in Hialeah. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,650, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for three or four volunteers who can help over three weekday mornings.
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.

Keep going, Eli. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Eli. I hope things turn around soon. After 10 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
sending strength, Eli. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
