Roofing help wanted: Maya's home in Los Angeles
The roof at Maya's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇺🇸 California, United States91 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 bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $2,500, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is to be comfortable with heights or willing to help from the ground. 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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Maya. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Los Angeles.
I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Ann Arbor but we're thinking of you. Love from Ann Arbor
it takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Newport
Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up.
