Roofing help wanted: Irene's home in Los Angeles
Could you spare two Saturdays to help repair a leaking roof in Los Angeles?
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States191 views
I'm a home-care aide living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,350, 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 a small crew 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Dar es Salaam
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you the best, Irene. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
