Roofing help wanted: Mauricio's home in La Plata
Mauricio, a disabled veteran, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in La Plata.

I'm a disabled veteran living in La Plata. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $1,150, 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 4-6 people 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 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 hope life is good to you.

sending love, Mauricio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Mauricio. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of La Plata
you're not alone, Mauricio. Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings!
