Roofing help wanted: Lourdes's home in Los Angeles
The roof at Lourdes's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇺🇸 California, United States218 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in Los Angeles. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the living room is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $3,500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the corrugated iron sheets and timber. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over one long weekend.
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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Lourdes. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Allentown donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Hope it all works out, Lourdes. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Lourdes. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
