Roofing help wanted: Paloma's home in San Jose
The roof at Paloma's home is failing; materials are donated and we need hands.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United StatesPosted Oct 1, 2026800 views
I'm a disabled veteran living in San Jose. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,450, 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 three weekday mornings.
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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

take care, Paloma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
