Roofing help wanted: Hadley's home in San Jose
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in San Jose?
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States481 views
I'm a single mother of three living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $5,750, 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 anyone handy 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 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Warangal!
Hope it all works out, Hadley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Kathmandu this morning. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 21 people at work. Take care.
This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Jakarta Selatan.
Sending good thoughts, Hadley. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Jakarta donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. After 22 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything
